Fear

Fear is what controls us,
Leads us on by strings,
All hail the puppet master!
We are all mere things.

If we really have the power,
Then why do we hold back?
Lose the ones that love us?
Let ourselves fall off track.

We give in to the pressure,
Maybe fear of rejection,
But in our heart we know,
They aren't looking for perfection.

You must realize that they love you,
There was never need to fear,
Still you want to hold on back,
Afraid to get too near.

Afraid to show your colors,
Let the passion flow free,
Time to let the fear go,
Time for me to be me...

I no longer have to fear,
Never a need to hide,
For if you really loved me,
You would never leave my side.

Someday I will let go,
Become as free as can be,
My secrets will disappear,
Then you'll know the real me.

So the moral of the story,
There is really no need to fear,
You'll never lose someone worth loving,
They'll always be held somewhere dear.
