In the Spotlight

The mist is feeling heavy here
The steps to take are no longer clear
Fought tooth and nail to realize this dream
But now it leads to my screams

Is this the life I've wanted?
I'm too afraid to let my guard down

I swear these walls are so damn high
Is this yet another moment I let pass me by
Is it my fear holding me back?
Or is it the conviction to follow through
I've always lacked?

Unknown, alone
I'm paralyzed by the spotlight's glow
Left on my own
I'm so terrified of the unknown
So scared of my future
Am I even meant to be here
Unknown, alone
And I'm petrified being so far from home
