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!
