i am afraid i am afraid

im afraid i’ll loose

im afraid i’ll loose my place

my place on the stage

my place in line

my voice

my chance to speak and choose

i’m afraid i’ve lost my chance to loose

i am afraid i am alone

and that i can’t hide in my home because the home i have isn’t really mine to speak of  

i’m am afraid i am already speaking from beyond vale 

my bones are thin, my nerves frail

i am afraid i have already lost

already paid out every cost

for just a sliver of a chance to live

and that this world, it did not give that chance the play, 

the home it wants to grow,

and stay

but we do not all get to have our day

we do not all get to have our day

we do not all get to have our day

we do not all get to have our day
