"Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"


You’re hurt, you’re scared.
You’re running away.
Throwing away all the challenges,
Escaping the pain.
Standing on a ledge,
Whether or not you jump,
You’re making a mistake.
Love, happiness, it’s all still here.
Take what you got.
Don’t just disappear.
It’s somewhere in you,
That white smile.
Already has caught up to you,
But you won’t let it out.
What are you so scared of?
People figuring you out?
You’re perfect, you’re happy.
What is there to doubt?
One more question;
Are you just afraid of yourself?
Well don’t be,
Cause you’re like no one else.
