Fly

What am I doing and who have I become?
Why am I letting my fear of flying keep me on the ground
I have dreams and aspirations that are solely mine
So why do I share them?
I have been inspired, so why can't I take that to heart
I always used to know
Know my name
Know everything the same
Know how to play the game
Why?
Why am I scared of jumping when I know there is a safe landing
Maybe it's uncertainty because I've never jumped that high before
I guess I just have to give it a shot I guess I could
I could fall and die
I could fall and fly
I could do anything, I'm pretty sure
I just have to try and hope I spread my wings and fly.....
