I know… I know…
I’ve been standing at the edge of every moment I’ve been given with a vision of a life that I was always too afraid to live in and I’m listening to voices in my head that keep on telling me to wait a little longer like I’m somehow gonna fit in and I’ve been building up excuses out of every little doubt turning “maybe I should try” into a reason to back out and I’m tired of pretending that I’m fine with standing still when I can feel it in my chest that there’s a part I never fill and I’ve been watching every second like it’s something I could save but the truth is every second is just something that will fade and I don’t wanna look back knowing I was too afraid to take a step into the unknown even if it’s not safe
Every second, every breath
Feels like something I regret
Standing on the line again
It takes courage just to try
Even when you’re terrified
Even when you wanna hide
From the truth inside
It takes courage just to move
When you’re scared of what you’ll lose
Every step you’re breaking through
Into something new
I’ve been overthinking every possibility of failure every scenario of falling every version of the danger and I tried to calculate it tried to keep it all contained but the more I tried to control it the more it slipped away and I was waiting for a moment when I’d finally feel ready but the truth is that the fear doesn’t ever really let me and I’m tired of pretending I can live inside a maybe when I know that if I don’t move now I’ll regret it daily and I’m standing in the silence with my heartbeat going crazy and I realize that courage isn’t something that just saves me it’s a choice I gotta make even when it’s shaking me and maybe that’s the only way it ever really changes me—
Yeah…
Right now
No more waiting, no more lines
No more living in “what ifs”
This is where it shifts
It takes courage just to try
Even when you’re terrified
Even when you lose your mind
In the dark inside
It takes courage just to stand
With your heart inside your hands
Even if they don’t understand
You still make the plan
No perfect time, no perfect place
Just one step into the unknown space
No guarantees, no safety net
Just everything you might regret
It takes courage just to live
Even when you wanna quit
Every scar is evidence
You didn’t miss
It takes courage just to be
Who you are and what you need
Every breath is victory
Even incomplete
Hey…
It takes courage…
To be me
