Will I win first place or fall on my face?
Will I have enough cash, or just scrape by in haste?
Will love come easy, sweet as can be,
Or will I chase shadows no one else can see?

Will friends light up my phone like a star
Will silence stretch out, cold and far?

How do I stop assuming the worst?
Is fearing the fall what makes it hurt?

How do I teach my heart to crave the unseen?
