So the only thing that we have to fear...Is fear itself.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -JFK


At the end of the road,
The end of the sidewalk,
Why do I wait,
Standing there shivering,
Completely alone,
Haven't I reached my goal,
Or yet am I still waiting,
Awaiting for the right person,
The right moment,
To determine my goal for me,
Or to be my goal,
Because while we cannot predict the future, we can wait until tomorrow,
But we only push on,
Because that's the only way to achieve, in life, in everything,
So we can't wait forever,
Only until we decide,
To cross the street,
And enjoy the walk

I was inspired by waiting to cross the street to school and brooding about how we wait when we're already at the end.
