I'm afraid

January 17, 2014

This is so hard.

Sitting in the dark.

Wondering where my life will take me.

Will I end up happy?

I admit I am afraid

Of the things that happened yesterday, of the past, and the future that's coming way too fast.

I know I can't put my life in pause.

I can't direct what happens or make the laws.

But I wish so bad

To be happy not sad.

Deep down I am hurting.

I hate to say it but its true.

I don't want to harm anyone.

Especially you.

You are always there for me

You used to tell me to dream.

Well I'm trying to do that.

But, I am being held back.

It's a battle between my mind and my heart.

Should I try, knowing it may all fall apart.

Or should I stay forever in the dark?

I want to make you happy as well as myself too

I'm trying to find the way but everything is blinding me.

I want to be free, I want to find me, I just hope I can do that.

And I know it doesn't just happen suddenly.

Please don't try to tell me what to do.

I know you're trying to guide me but I am not you.

Although there are some things in common between you and me...

I'm not going to give up on my dream.
