Afraid to step out
scared to fail, even if you
reached for the sky
Not wanting to fall
and hurt, and cry
Not ready for the chance
for the risk, wanting more
more time, more guidance
Wanting all that but then to see
you are out on your own
facing the everything
with no one behind you
No one backing you up
or telling you it is going to be okay
No one to hold you hand
and tell you the right path to take
But then you turn and see
you see what you could not see before
You see help right behind
guiding you, helping you along
if you give it a chance
