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 ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Regrets of Living

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
