Start Again

I'm afraid to stop.

Cause if I stop that means I have to start something else,

And starting is the hardest thing.

To stop is easy,

To start is scary.

Never quite sure where it's going,

Let alone how to begin.

Not quite sure what will happen in between,

Let alone how it will end.

Not quite sure why it's so hard,

Let alone how it always happens.


I'm afraid to start.

Because if I start that means I have to continue.

And continuing is too hard a commitment.

To stop is easy.

To start is scary.

Never quite sure where it's going,

Let alone how to begin.

Not quite sure what will happen in between,

Let alone how it will end.

Not quite sure why it's so hard,

Let alone how it always happens.


I'm afraid to continue.

Cause if I continue that means I have to eventually stop.

And stopping is too difficult.

To stop is never easy,

To start will always be scary.

Never quite sure where we're going,

Let alone how to begin,

Never sure of what will happen in between,

Or how it will end.

But that's all part of the thrill.

So, why is it so hard,

To start.
