Even Out of Fear
I've spent my life afraid
Of what? I'm not sure.
Of people, love, failure
Maybe all of it
I've spent it daydreaming
And fantasizing
About the things that could be and
Even the things that couldn't.
Isn't that the most haunting?
The things we know can't happen
but desperately want them to
That's how I've lived my life so far
When I see a stranger
I wonder about their lives
Are they doing anything exciting?
Do they have someone to love?
And when I see pictures of people I once knew
I envy their seemingly great lives
"When will it be my time to shine?"
I've asked myself that a lot
The time is now, the place is here
And these people are whom it'll be with
I will be afraid no more
I will not waste time pondering
I will do
Because life will out
Always
Easier said than done
but I'm pretty stubborn
