Fear

I'm so afraid that I'll never break free

Of these chains that keep me here

I'm afraid that feeling nothing will be the death of me

I'm afraid that when the time comes

when all the things I cling to fade away

there will be only me left

I'm afraid that in the end

I won't have a hand to hold onto

and really honestly

that's all I ever really wanted

to be able to reach out

and know there was someone reaching back.
