Analysis of Things I Will Never Say



I try to stay positive because I hate to live in doubt
I lived that before and I don't want to ever go there again.
In all honesty, I'd rather be alone than waste my time on someone

I have come to a new stage in my life
Where I feel comfortable with myself and what I have to give
I believe I am worth it and I know what I deserve
I have the utter calmness for the future, this is new,
Before I would freak out about every second being wasted
But know I feel I know the place I am going and I am going to get there
It just takes time to get where you need to be
I like this feeling

I was so afraid to live
I was afraid to be brave
I was afraid to believe in myself
And I didn't believe my worth
I lived in doubt.
