Really Are You Afraid?

Really are you afraid
Afraid of being alone
Or is it actually excitement
Of being on your own

Remember how as a kid
You created fantasies
Of being a solo explorer
Of your own life mysteries

Really are you afraid
Of losing your current job
Or are you secretly excited
To leave behind that mob

Remember how as a kid
You were told to play it safe
But you were happy to roam
As a tramp and as a waif

Really are you afraid
Of anything at all
Or is it masked excitement
Of finally standing tall
