Why is it that the best-kept secrets are always the hardest to contain?

And why is it that the one thing we want the most is always the hardest to obtain?

Isn't it strange that some of the hardest things to find are right outside our own front door?

And isn't it weird that the worst things in life are the ones that we want even more?



When the shortcut seems easier, sometimes you're better off taking the path that's rugged and long

Because when everything feels just right, be on the lookout for that one thing that can always go wrong



Doubt takes what we want, and twists it around

Transforming it into a negative, too heavy to hold and too painful to hear the sound

And these things that we once craved for, that we desire and lust

Are now the things that we fear; the awful things that we can never trust

This fear will imprison us, it's an emotion we just cannot allow

But in order to move on, the fear must end now

With this doubt we over analyze, over worry, over fear

To the point where our doubt drives us to destroy the thing that used to be so very clear



Why is it that the one person we love is the object we are forced to hate?

And why is it that by the time we find the true answers, it's always a second too late?

Isn't it unfair that the most painful things are also the most controlling things? Such a sad exchange

And isn't it ironic that the one thing we fear the most is the same thing that drives life forward; change?



When the pieces seem to fit almost too perfectly, you might want to attempt to force them in a different way

Because while the night might be able to hide all the lies, be on the lookout for the break of day



Doubt is directly related to fear

That which we fear is so threatening that in order to prevent hurt

A doubt is formed

An excuse to steer clear of the fear

In order to overcome the doubt, you must face the fear

Sometimes what you fear the most is nothing more than the doubts harbored in your mind

Analyze all possibilities, and use common sense and deepened interpretation of every kind

Follow your heart, not your doubts; not your fears

You'll be amazed at the promising answers you'll find when you brush away your tears

If you follow this route, it's worth waiting in line

For this is the path that leads to the candid truth every single time



When your mind feels free and your heart yearns to sing that very special song

The fear is always near, so be on the lookout for that one thing that will always go wrong



Truth, it is not a "thing", it is a sense

But in order to discover the truth, we must stare at our fears in the eye and stop hiding behind the gray, chain linked fence

We can see the truth in everything around us, we are attracted to it

Yet sometimes due to our fears, we are often appalled by it

When fear grips your mind, pass the torch to your heart to try to earn a victory in this lopsided game

But when fear grips your heart, your only hope is to extinguish the flame



It's ironic that change is the one thing that drives life on, yet the same thing we fear the most

We must accept change and destroy the fear before we become its permanent host



My greatest fear is that toxic thought that won't leave and forever gets embedded in my head

At this very moment that thought is that the fear will deprive me of my life and leave me here to decay alone and as good as dead

I can't save myself, no one out there can hear me scream, and I am just a lost, fragile, hopeless man

I am not myself, I am shaped, mashed, and hiding; twenty-one years of life and I still don't know who I am
