Imaginary Fear

Everyone’s afraid of something

Most people have a reason for that fear.

A pain, a sorrow, a regret, a mistake

A secret one holds dear.

But then there’re those, or well, there’s me-

Who looks at life so differently.

I’ve got a past that’s golden sweet,

Nice, sheltered, and pampered.

So when an opportunity comes my way

Why do I hide or run away

I wish I could fly to the moon and back,

I want to get better every day and year

I want to do everything I know I can do

But how to get past my imaginary fear?

It’s not fair for me to hesitate,

I’ve got nothing to lose

It’s like I’m being pulled back from a fate

Not given the chance to choose

I see people kissing in the rain,

I see birthday wishes come true,

I see everyone fall in love,

So why can’t I let myself love you?

I wish I could fly to the moon and back,

I want to get better every day and year

I want to do everything I know I can do

But how to get past my imaginary fear?

There's no way out, I see that now.

Thank you for trying, anyhow.

One day this fear may set me free,

And life will bring you back to me.
