Fade away

I replay it in my head

I'll do it, I say

Line after line, word after word

Today's the day

***

A second ticks by

I look back on my decision

The another and a minute

And I lose all of my conviction

***

My certainty crumbles

Doubt enshrouds my mind

My confidance begins to fade

Eating each strand of light they find

***

My decision is being ripped to shreds

By none other than myself

Already being put away

Gathering dust on the shelf

***

It only takes a few seconds

To start second guessing your choices

Its so easy to doubt

To get drowned by the voices

***

I tuck myself in

Pushing away my sorrow

I turn off the lights

Maybe I'll do it tomorrow
