Honesty

out here all alone, the snow covers everything
and nights are silent and cold
do you ever miss the cold velvet sky
so far away
when it feels like the stars are close enough to touch
one more year and this small town will be a memory
i'll be gone,
far away from all i've ever known

that thought thrills and terrifies me.
i don't know how to live without the wide open sky
the snow cold and unforgiving as it falls

i am afraid,
i am not ready to go.
so afraid of failure,
but oh, how i long to try,
to prove myself wrong.

i'm not ready to face the world,
to face my fears.
better late than never.
