Not Afraid
I have an insatiable goal,
That weighs my options everyday;
And I fear I've lost control-
And I fear I must obey.
I've spent countless hours,
And countless days-
shuffling my mind,
In my attempts to appraise;
How people can be so easily swayed;
How even when you know that it's wrong-
Still for so long, you had stayed.
How true love, perhaps never fades,
then all at once,
scattered thoughts invade-
Trying to dodge the pain;
As you're screaming that you aren't afraid!
