Four Point Nine: Cause and Effect
Fret and regret
Stall and won't settle
Hide and be always terrified
Stay 'til you go astray
Fake it and have no one to meet
Manipulate and be the subject of hate
Mock and remain stuck
Play safe and your peace will chafe
There's no aftermath without fear
but isn't it merely a trap to interfere?
For fear itself is not the culprit,
it's our hastened choice to quit
Fear only memorizes your shame,
the unchanging timidness is to blame
Fear will often talk about your past injury
It can't walk far away from your history,
it's not privy to the rest of your story
