All My Fault

2024-08-20 by V U Y O

Late at night, I lie awake,
Haunted by a fear I cannot escape.
The weight of expectations, they suffocate,
Afraid to falter, afraid to make a mistake.

My heart's beating fast, I can't catch my breath,
Tangled in thoughts, stuck in a mess.
I want to be everything they dream of,
But what if I let them down, just not good enough?

Oh, it's all my fault, the fear so strong,
To disappoint those I love, it feels so wrong.
I carry the weight of their hopes and dreams,
Silently screaming, tearing at the seams.

In every note I play, in every word I sing,
There's a voice inside that makes my heart sting.
I'm haunted by the fear of letting them down,
Afraid the love they give will someday drown.

My mind's in a whirl, feeling so small.
Afraid to stumble, afraid to fall.
I want to make them proud, be their shining light,
But what if I fall short, unable to ignite?

Oh, it's all my fault, the fear so strong,
To disappoint those I love, it feels so wrong.
I carry the weight of their hopes and dreams,
Silently screaming, tearing endlessly at the seams.
