Fear within, takes me aside
with every move, with every stride

I tell myself, I'll be fine
as I sip slowly this fine red wine

I set goals for myself, though it seems never enough,
I tell myself I am strong and I am tough

I go to work, and I attend school
setting for myself important rules

The future is hazey, with uncertainty and doubt
oh for a mountain.. I need to shout

wanting so much what can not be mine
To the ones around me.. I exhibit false shine

Holding on to the hope and strenght
Life is uncertain of time and its length

A smile for you, a laughter for them
once more in my life, I began again

Slowly I breath the air that seems futile
Sometimes life can be simply brutal

My heart is an enemy this time around
Planting my feet firmly on soiled ground

Sinking into what life hands me so well
ohh the stories for my old self to tell

I lived in a park, abandoned by mother
I lived in a car, not a limo.. the other

I visited places only some dream of
I know what its like to be pushed and shoved

I've tasted fine wine, and I've eaten good food
I've been in the worst and the best a mood

I've tempted fate a time or two
If you didn't mind death, wouldn't you too?

Today is so different then tomorrow will be
Through the same eyes, different they'll see

The ache and fear will subside for a time
Then I'll share with you a brand new rhyme
