"I'm Scared"


I’ve never been more scared in my life,

Days past and time just dwells on.

My dreams do not wait for me,

But seem to leave me behind.

I am lost in a standstill, forever wondering.

I’m scared.

 

One day I will wake up and find life questionable.

Taking that final step,

Deciding the rest of my life.

I don’t know what will happen then,

Or if I will even fail,

I’m scared.

 

I will make that epic leap into my dreams,

And who knows if I will even survive.

If all I know is that feeling of unknown.

Then I’m not sure if I want to know,

I’m scared.
