Change,

Something, I fear.

For so long I've been the same,

I lost track of the year.

I can't escape the thoughts that raid my brain,

About the dreams I wish I could attain,

But I fear that I'm filled with failure,

So why risk the pain?

I want to take a dive and risk it all,

But I don't know if I'll soar or if I'll fall.

I know the only way I'll know is if I jump,

But I can hear the failure beginning to call.

I take a leap out of fear,

I'm falling, and failure is all that I hear.

I reach out with my hand to try and grasp on to what's left of my dreams,

But it all crumbles before me, disintegrating totally,

Until nothing but ash remains.

And I became lost in all the ash,

Never to be found again.
