Fearless

Fearless I have often sat and pondered And all of this was justified About a concept that eludes me And believe me, I have tried Yes I’ve tried to understand it And the question still is ’why?’ If I think a little longer I might even start to cry For the feelings it awakens Make me sad and fearful too If this torturing continues I will know not what to do Call it sadness or dejection Call it whatever word you may Either way it is burden I would gladly throw away It erodes my self-assurance It attacks my self-esteem I am losing my composure There’s so much I should redeem But my mind just keeps rewinding Though my thoughts remain the same They are stuck, not even flinching They are glued within their frame I agree that I’m a victim Of sheer gloominess, and true I would love to point a finger But I don’t know to what and who But deep inside my inner being I have found an ounce of pluck I will start a stiff resistance And I am fearless, wish me luck!
