What Stops You

What stops you?
The dreams you had once nursed,
Are now slowly fading away..
The chances you always waited for,
Had once come your way..
But now they are slipping by
And you give up with a sigh?

What stops you from another try?
The fear of losing what you never had?
Or fooling yourself is not that bad..
With lies.. of happiness you could only get..
if u had tried, but you gave up instead..

What stops you to start again?
The scars from yesterday's defeats
And their unbearable pain?
Those scars will forever remain..
Until you come out and try again..

Dive into the sea..get off the shore..
What stops you from trying once more?
