I am not scared of the smiling faces
I am not scared of the voices
I am not scared of dying
I am scared of the true nature of people
I am scared of what they say is true
And I am scared of living
I am scared of everything I have
Because I know I have more to lose
I am scared of moving on
Because I don't know what lies ahead
I am scared of being scared
I am scared of not caring anymore
And just letting everything in my hands
Simply fall away
I'm scared of not being true to myself again
I'm scared of losing everything I've accomplished
I'm scared of most things in this life
By being to afraid of everything
I'm afraid of living
And while fear dictates my life
It also keeps me here
I am afraid to leave the ones I love
I am afraid of breaking their hearts
I am afraid of ruining their lives
Simply from not living mine
So even though my fear is excessive
Unnecessary
I need it
To keep going
Don't tell me not to be afraid
