The Perks of Being Afraid

escrito, reescrito mil vezes e enfim publicado por Yolanda


Sometimes I catch myself
fearing the unknown
It makes me feel like I’m wasting
everything I’ve grown

But when I think about it
And I face my fears
I realize it is nothing
I haven’t seen in the past years

I’ve seen it before
The fear of rejection
When the kids of my school
Made fun of my passion

I’ve seen it once
The fear of death
It was in the hospital
Grandpa took his last breath

I’ve seen it in books
The fear of failure
When the victim thought
He couldn't make into a savior

I’ve seen it in nightmares
The fear of solitude
I was telling that I loved you
But I felt my lips glued

And then I think:
Are those real fears?
I’ve seen them all before
I’ve already cried my tears

In life or in fantasy
Yes, I’ve seen all of you
That’s when I realize
There’s nothing in this world I can not get through
