Unsure

“Unsure”

To sing and not know the lyrics
To dance and not know the steps
To write and not know the words
To start but not know where to begin
To run and forget how to step
To forget and then suddenly remember
To admire from afar but never possess
To know the answer and still ask questions
To know right and perform wrong
To light a fire then burn it out
To know but still be unsure
To love and lose
To break and stay broken 
Or to break and build again
To dream and it never happens
To be perfect and still have a million flaws
To throw it out and rediscover
To be you but be someone else
