The Fear


The world. 
What are we here for? 
What do we do? 
We all have a journey,
But we all don't push through.

Born to die,
But if your living then it's worth it.
This world is amazing, when you fall you feel the burden.

I don't wanna die
On the other hand, is forever worth it?

I don't wanna fail
But then again I've been rolling, rolling with the punches.

Each and everyday I try to grasp on what's the purpose

Is it happiness, or is it the money thats the only motive.

Are we happy inside or are we lost in a illusion?

Can we really grow, I've only been use too losing.

Lost myself to this world 
I'm tryna find my way out.

Mind is losing control 
My temple is In a drought.

But I'm still living so I guess 
I can change the route.

Is this breath I take worth it each and every time I inhale?

We all have a journey but my biggest fear is to fail.
