Seeking My Dreams

I wish I wouldn’t stop me, it’s a painful problem of mine every day. I plan things almost forever, then at the last minute freeze or walk away. Some times I close my eyes and continue to barge on thru, to the end. Mostly I’m just a coward who’s frightened to see things thru, just yet, my friend. I’m not frightened of what others will say, tho friends I’d hate to lose. It’s more I’m fearful of the unknown, with its hidden walls of don’t and do’s. Every time I enter into my plans, unknowns pop up to stop me in my tracks. Getting in over my head gives lessons, that stop me from wanting to go back. Some times I just shy away because I’m suddenly so very shy… And being paralyzed with fear takes me a while, before I can carry on and try. I’ll probably eventually finish things to whatever point I can… But fearful timidness, is always lurking there at hand. So stand there by my side, and give me a smile to urge me on. Watch me take off flying, even if I fall down and become withdrawn. I’m really not alone, it’s also there inside of you. So as I take off running again, you should take off flying too. There’s courage in numbers, and sharing problems makes them seem far less. If I can lean on your shoulder, you can also lean on mine, you bet. Together we’ll get thru things… tho always with more planning and way more time. Learning doesn’t take forever, and one goal can be met with each flight. After all we’re still only human, with this battle of starts and stops to fight… If we lose our footing in the sand, sooner or later we’ll get up and carry on. With patience we can find the treasures out there, and more stars to dream upon.
