Inner Torment

I silence my fears
Tell myself they don't rule me,
Why do I lie this way?
The world is wide
And I know I'm alone,
No one stands beside me as I turn to run.
No one calls after me,
The tears form and fall running down my cheek.
The dreams I create to cover the truth shatter
And I'm exposed.
I'm not destined for greatness
As I've tricked myself into believing.
