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
