Deep within the woven strings, The dream catcher snares my hopes. Once so sure, Now so afraid, I can see my future before me And I tremble. Every hope or dream I had, All I know, Is held in those strings, Weaving the story of my life, Leaving so much left undone. Where do I go from here? Who will I meet? Will others suffer, When I go out to seek my fortune? Will I survive, In a world I don't know? Can he possibly be happy, In my simple arms? Can I be happy, When I am so unsure of myself, So afraid that I'm not enough. What becomes of things now? Will the past 3 years melt away, And just become a memory? I only began to live, When I came here. When I leave, Will I begin to die, Again? I'm so afraid. How did the web get woven, So fast?
