I Fear

I fear going wrong

Still I feel

I never go right

If the directions are clear

I fear a trick

I never know

What I might do

That'll make people leave me

Without further ado

I fear being lonely

I fear people leaving my side

I try my best

But I always go wrong

I tell myself

Life is a test

But then I fear to fail

I know this is life

I have to go wrong

I know if  I get back up

I will be strong

But I always fear tripping

On yet another rock

Then breaking my leg

And never getting up

I try to learn

I try to heal

But I keep making

Mistakes again
