To You
To be someone without fear
is to be someone without life
So much to believe in,
yet nothing to follow through the darkness,
not even a light
Be someone who needs, not wants
Be someone who thinks, not blocks
Someone to be is who this is for,
for not being someone is the greatest failure
And yet, being someone who fails is worse
Do not fear failure,
but don't seek it either
Everything is that simple,
if you want it to be
Yet it seems so many want it to not
I shake my head as these go by,
hopefully never returning
Find me, you, who knows no flames,
and we can leave however feels right.
