Unexpected Visitor
Opportunity is knocking, I can hear it at my door
Should I let it come in or keep living my life as before
I know I shouldn't hesitate and just step up to the call
But, in the back of my mind, I'm terrified of the prospect of it all
What if things don't change or they might get worse
My life being the way it is, you'd think I had a curse
The fear I have is minimal as of yet
But if I don't take this chance, I will almost certainly regret
What I am more afraid of is staying the same
What if I never fulfill the dreams that came
And went like the wind blowing out of my life
And I never get the chance to be somebody's wife
Is this where I am going to stay forever
Living in mediocrity, molded together
With fear and unhappiness. I want something more
So I think I am going to open the door
And let opportunity in and see where it takes me
Hopefully, my passion and my spirit will be set free
