I'm writing on the right side of life
Giving myself only to the ones who'll hold tight
Afraid of failure, disappointment and shame
Afraid of taking a risk, afraid of staking a claim
I do not want my heart broken
It's a truth that I deny
But the memories are worth the heartbreaks
That I may face if I try
I'm sorry world for my imperfections
Sorry that I didn't make the cut
However, these memories will forever stay
On the pages of my heart
As I approach the end of my life
I'm sure these memories will be
Proof that I've lived a life of courage
And not a life of fear.
