Too Scared To Be

There once was a time 
When everything was real. 
When hope was abundant.
When it hurt to feel.

That time has come and gone
Nor shall it be found.
Buried by the purpose,
Rotting with in the ground.

Waiting for the fall,
That feast upon your feet.
Causing you to faultier,
Demands your defeat.

But once you’ve gone looking
Only then you’ll see.
What it is that you,
Come forth too scared to be.
