Fearless Journey

I’ve been following this dark shadow that looms over head Dreaming of my dreams, afraid of living them instead As the world keeps moving forward and I just watch from behind this wall I grow tired of crossing my fingers and hoping someday that it might fall I climb to the top and look to the deep sea below I wonder if I can make it as far as the blue water flows I hang on the edge gripping with bloody finger tips And I close my eyes tightly as the blood slowly drips The pain from the past can hold me here in this place or I can let the current move me forward with peace to replace They say the only thing to fear is fear itself So why not take these dreams off this perpetual shelf? I watch my life flash as I dare to take the plunge down and take a deep breath saving air in case I drown But as I hit the water I feel exhilaration through my soul and somehow now I know, fear will never win control I vow to live this life and chase my dreams across the sky and live forever moving forward and never asking why These walls I’ve let crumble are now just pebbles made of stone and fear no longer a passenger on this journey of my own
