Another Poem

Peer Pressure

Sometimes my fears are all that I see
Blinding me to a what I could do,
But I won't let them be the master of me.

It may feel, at times, that all I can be
Is what others tell me that I am.
Sometimes my fears are all that I see

I may fear ideas of individuality,
Letting others tell me when I fit in just right
But I won't let them be the master of me.

When there's a distance from all those who know me
And the only right option is an unpopular choice
Sometimes my fears are all that I see.

When what lies ahead seems just, but not happy
And I decide to stand against all that's comfortable
Sometimes my fears are all that I see
But I won't let them be the master of me.
