Once a heard, “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
And then I think, well, I would have talked to that girl
I would’ve stood up that moment
I would’ve tried that thing
I would’ve been happy

I am afraid of the consequences, of the reactions
I am afraid of doing it wrong
I am afraid of people laughing at me, even if I can’t see them doing it
I am afraid of the unknown
I am being stopped by an invisible barrier that I created
And this barrier stops me of being happy
Of trying new things, meeting new people
It stops me of living and enjoying life to the fullest

I am afraid of being this coward for the rest of my life
I am afraid of regretting what I could’ve done
I am afraid of being afraid!

Sometimes I just want to sleep
Because when we sleep, everything is alright
It’s like an escape from the world
Nobody can hurt you, nobody can touch you
And when I sleep, I feel good, I feel free
When I sleep, I am not afraid
Because when I sleep, I don’t know this coward
I am not myself
I am happy
