How many times have I made the same arguments to someone who isn’t there to feel like someone cares?

How many times have I devised a different way to express an idea to feel like others will listen?

How many times will I walk the same path until I finally stand up and start to speak?

But you don’t need fear’s aide Its part has already been played If it continues to lurk about Expel fear with a great shout

Letting fear run your life will lead to nothing but anguish and strife So tell fear what we know to be true That it will never be the boss of you
