Success

The bright lights of fame keep calling to me
They want me to be the one they seek
They tell me I'm good but I do not believe
They tell me I am strong but I know I'm week
They flash just beyond the horizon over there
And here I sit in the perpetual darkness
The darkness and nothingness I call my life
Hiding and never knowing what I might miss
I do this not because I'm no good
I do this not because I couldn't succeed
I do this because I am scared of the truth
I do this because I'm scared to succeed
