The Adventures of Today
I may be afraid but I will still touch the sky.
As I set out on these adventures of today
I worry
Will I be okay
I left the troubles
To set out to find the new
To reach new heights that I've never seen before
Will I make it
Will I survive
I've not always been a fan of heights
Sure I can stand on a ladder and pretend I'm an acrobat
Twisting my body into different contortions
While remaining to control my balance
I've always been told that falling is not an option
But how will I learn
If I keep things the same
Playing it safe
And wishing things would remain
I set out on new adventures
Hoping that my legs have the strength to support me
Even if I shake
Even if I crumble
I am done running away
It is time to get up and make things rumble
Just like an elephant
Not stopping until the day is done
I'm setting out
In seek of the adventures of today
I may be afraid
But I know
I can make it through the day
