Sometimes I feel trapped,
between my past and my future,
As life passes by,
with wounds still left unsutured.
I am neither living my life nor am I dead,
As fear and panic take over my body with dread.
All dreams seem lost and too far to achieve,
There’s nothing else to do but sob and grieve.
Whatever I have achieved so far in life,
seems so bleak,
Keeping it all to myself,
As I feel there’s no one to speak.
It’s not that I lack purpose or a dream…
I am just scared,
To come out of my comfort zone,
even if I am unprepared.
Fear is the friction between who I am
and who I want to be,
Taking the first step is the most difficult,
even though I know I will eventually feel free,
For then when I look around and see,
A lot of people struggling to mentor their dreams,
just like me.
