Fear, trepidation, bewildered by expectation
Traveling through your home in darkness,
Worries of the table, chair and your shins painful echo
Anticipation of an unknown score, perfection, rejection, nothing more
First time behind the wheel, the only view...
Death seen on the reel
Gold medal or nothing ever, crouched at the line, ready to race
The preceding seconds of breaking, slow seemingly ending with a long beginning
Moments before they announced my name,
On stage to stake an unestablished claim
The feeling after, a 7,000 witness personal attack with laughter
That moment in school, when all children look upon you, as the fool
Those fears and realities combine to equate in an experience of
Unmistaken fear and personal questioning of "why am I here?"
There is nothing that can replace, or put you in a better place,
The resolution of the fear, that you so dearly hold in its protective place
