I'm so afraid of living a lie
That I forget to live at all
I'm so afraid of going on
That I forget to move forward
I'm so afraid of stepping up
That I'm stepping down
My fears are my worst regrets
And that is all I have left
My regrets of everything
Have equaled into this

I'm stepping farther down
And with every step
I'm at the beginning again
I will relive my regrets over
And over in my head
I'll never get over the past
I'll never get a future

But that won't stop death
It still hunts its prey
And I fear that one day
I'll be killed from it or fear
There is nowhere to go
And I'm stuck in this world

I'm so afraid of living a lie
And I don't know why
I'm so tired of endlessly
Living on for tomorrow
When tomorrow never comes
I live in yesterday
And never will leave
The present slips away
While I am slipping farther
The present can't catch up
I'm too far away
Tomorrow is just a day away
Yet, I'll never see it
There is nowhere to go anyways [comments] => 8 [counter] => 193 [topic] => 48 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Regrets of Living

I'm so afraid of living a lie
That I forget to live at all
I'm so afraid of going on
That I forget to move forward
I'm so afraid of stepping up
That I'm stepping down
My fears are my worst regrets
And that is all I have left
My regrets of everything
Have equaled into this

I'm stepping farther down
And with every step
I'm at the beginning again
I will relive my regrets over
And over in my head
I'll never get over the past
I'll never get a future

But that won't stop death
It still hunts its prey
And I fear that one day
I'll be killed from it or fear
There is nowhere to go
And I'm stuck in this world

I'm so afraid of living a lie
And I don't know why
I'm so tired of endlessly
Living on for tomorrow
When tomorrow never comes
I live in yesterday
And never will leave
The present slips away
While I am slipping farther
The present can't catch up
I'm too far away
Tomorrow is just a day away
Yet, I'll never see it
There is nowhere to go anyways

My answer to this poem can be found in my poem I just posted "Today". I was going through the same thing for the past month and Today I snapped myself out of it. Great write.

Yesterday is gone, past over. Tomorrow, we all know, never comes. Live for today and plan for a possible tomorrow, but get out of yesterday. I used to be like this poem and it was a terrifying place to be. Move forward just a few steps at a time, but move forward. You have nothing to fear but fear. Try for your own sake. You probably have a lot to give to the world, why not at least give it a good try.

I feel your pain in this
