She Exists...
And so she lives in fear
Always has - still does - forever will
Or so she fears
(How ironic)
She doesn't fly
Afraid to fall
And break her fragile body
Upon impact of the
Cold, unfeeling ground below.
She refuses to try
Frightened to fail
Increasing the amount of her worthlessness
Simply won't love
Scared her heart will be broken
Such a selfish sacrifice
Afraid to die
Scared to live
Caught in the frightening middle...
No such thing as gain
When you cannot stand loss
No celebration of joy
When you ignore grief and mourning
Everything is nothing
When you live in fear...
