Fearless
You said you were fearless
You’re not-
The past you have locked away
Has closed your heart
You ask why you are challenged
Why it isn’t just easy
Why it can’t just be right in front of you-
I don’t know the answer
And I don’t know if I’d measure up
If I have the right stuff
But for now we won’t know
With me you may be right
You can’t dance at the ball if you arrive in a pumpkin
I’m not a Prince
And I’ve given up a lot to find happiness
I feel like I continue to pay every day
My lesson is to keep working hard
And to put everything I have into being prepared
So I can stop living from moment to moment
And build a foundation-
Like you spoke of so beautifully
To have the ability to be here and there
And everywhere-without fail
And continue to risk it
To challenge it
And be fearless.
