Sometimes
Sometimes I do
but usually I don't
Sometimes I could
but I usually won't
This is the pattern my life has entailed
I really should try but so often I've failed
Scared of rejection I just cannot bear
so why try at all, why should I care
Sitting and watching my dreams pass me by
confined in self doubting, all confidence dry
A glimmer of hope but no spark will ignite
I've thrown in the towel refusing to fight
All gifts that God has given to me
hide deep within for no one to see
I'll keep in the slow lane and never advance
leaving my life to fate and my future to chance
