I am scared

I am scared,

of the people around me that laugh

of the silence around me that barks

of the emotions that refuse to go away

of the pre-dispostions that come in my way

I am scared oh dear lord, I am scared of these times

Will I ever get a chance to change my life

I am scared,

of the way people talk to me

of the way my mind is never set free

of the trials and turbulations we face

of the trends and styles my friends craze

I am scared oh dear lord, I am scared of these times

Will I ever get a chance to change my life

I am scared,

of the expecations that haunt me

of this excruciating air that surrounds me

of the lonliness , of the sadness

of the failures that leave me bereft

I am scared oh dear lord,

scared of this ubiquitous fear that cuts me like a knife

Will I ever get a chance to change my life
