Fear is settling for what is expected, while courage is having the strength to step out of the box.


The blood the flows
Heavily threw my veins
Where does it come from?
Who is it?
Who am I?

I used to be so sure
Of what I wanted from life
I used to look in the mirror
And say to myself
Exactly who I was going to be

Now I’m unsure
I feel alone and confused
Can’t seem to find way
In this world of confusion

I barely had my head above water
Struggling to fight the waves
But they over powered me
And I’m afraid I’ve gone under

Is that a bad thing though?
To stay down and take the time
To face my fears
And what I don’t want to become

But what if my fears consume me
And I become truly lost
Stuck in one place
Consumed by the worst

I was always told
Happiness comes with a price
But what if you paid all you can
And things still aren’t right

I’ve been here before
And somehow found me away
Forgot the feelings
And cared little about the pain

But I feel those feelings now
I can feel the hurt and pain
It feels like my is heart breaking
But I somehow manage to be okay.

Even as I type
Tears run down my face
And I sit here crying
The entire world is my stage

I were my emotions on my sleeves
I roll them up tight
A put on a smile
A try with all my might

To keep it together
To hold my tears inside
At least till the bell rings
Then I can go hide

I run from my problems
Never face them head on
Put on that special smile
The smile everyone loves

I hold my head high
And act like I’m okay
While the feelings inside
Makes me want to run away

I just want to run
Run away from this place
Run away from my life
But most of all
Run away from these feelings inside

It’s hard when you’re as low
As low as I feel
To keep the fighting your fight
A fight that ends with one question
…………….
Who am I?
