A deep valley or a safe side alley

Get out, stay away and never return
Don't ever try to change my mind
Some things we just refuse to learn
So it is better to leave them behind

The pain will be too heavy to bear
It will wound the way I feel about myself
A cloak of mysery is what I will wear
And confidence will be stored on a shelf

In order to avoid this total chaos in mind
I will work, work and work until I die
Though I don't know what I will find
I just step forward and never wonder why

Facing the fear is the first step on a long road
A road that goes down, deep down into a valley
Will I be able to stand tall and carry this heavy load
Or will I slip away through a safe side alley

What is the worst thing that can happen to me
If I face my fear and let go of the control
Will I become a nobody or what is it I will be
Life is an unknown stone and it can only roll

The path of failure I have never tried before
I was afraid of the consequences all along
Yet there comes a time I can no longer ignore

The fact that failing will only make me strong
