There are times when I wish I was high up in the sky,
yet I am afraid I'll never be able to touch the ground.
There are times when I wish I was all down and low,
yet I am afraid I'll never be able to see up and above.
There are times when I dream of the far and wide,
yet I am afraid I'll be crushed aside.
There are times when I try to seek the light,
yet I am afraid I'll be thrust back in the dark.
There are times when I wish I could see the beauty within,
yet I am afraid I will leave a scar behind.
There are times when I wish I could lend a helping hand,
yet I am afraid I'll be left alone.
There are times I wish I could fall in love,
yet I am afraid I'll be selfish enough.
There are times I wish I could stand,
yet I am afraid I'll fall.
There are times I wish I was a fool to be wise,
yet I am afraid I'll be wise to be ignorant.
There are times I wish I could just be me,
yet I am afraid no one will see.
Then there are times I know I cannot see beyond the stars,
yet I am not afraid to imagine the possibilities.
Therefore, this is ME!
