I'M Afraid

I'm afraid this isn't real.
That this is another game,
someone played,
To enjoy themselves.

I'm afraid that,
To feel my heart beat again,
Just to make it break,
and cut it again.

I'm afraid that,
My heart will stop,
with all these scars,
and I'll lose who I am.

I'm afraid that the one,
I want to know.
She'll go and move,
before I had a chance to know.

I'm afraid that,
all will turn their backs,
Outcast me once again.
That I'll be alone from a friend.

I'm afraid that,
I dont got much time.
So I'm trying my best.
Telling the ones that I care.

We only have 24 hours,
7 days a week.
I'm sorry if Im rushing things,
but I dont want to miss a anything.

I want to enjoy life,
not be afraid anymore.
But that thought in
the back of my head keeps saying,

This could be faked once more.
I pray it isn't.
I pray this is real.
For how much more damage

Can a man take,
Not even made from steel.
