What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

Would you live by the choices that others have made?

Would you forget about answers you’re longing to find? 

Would you disregard dreams? Would you leave hopes behind?

Would you still be the person that fear makes you be?

If you weren’t afraid to set yourself free?

 

No, I would outline each dream to which I’ve aspired

I would list all good traits I have ever admired

I would go on a journey whose end was unknown

And vow to attain all those things for my own

I would dare to discover just who I’d become

Absent the fear that might make me succumb

 

Then gather your strength, you will find it essential

To follow your heart and fulfill your potential

And remember my friend if you need inspiration

This isn’t about your path’s destination

Your journey is only about what you’ll see

While becoming the person you knew you could be

 

Fear is a captor; we don’t owe it our trust

It’s hold on our hearts is completely unjust

Someday you’ll realize that all you had done

Was due to the fact that fear had not won

What would I do if I weren’t afraid?

Just allow no regrets for the choices I’d made
