get over your fears


air blows in my face

i'm up seventy five feet high

even though i'm scared of heights

get over your fears

or else they'll haunt you

and make you feel

as if your fright has 

turned you into a coward

i'm scared that the ledge

will be my death bed

get over your fears

a poker face

when you're so scared

when you want to hide somewhere

unnoticeable

to that lurking around 

awaiting upon your arrival

there's no need to be in denial

that you are courageous enough

to fight it off

get over your fears

before they drag you into the dirt

before they turn into that gust of wind

that pushes you off the ledge

get over your fears 

before they get to your head
