When you're scared

When you're scared you stop doing things you love

because you don't know what's next

and I've been thinking so far ahead

getting so competitive

I forgot what it's all about

 

if I want it to mean something

I have to make it mean something

 

when you're scared you just stop

and you feel like crap

and depression washes over you

infecting everyone else

 

when you're scared you get busy

you're tempted to quit

it all gets harder

 

life is hard

it's hard not to quit

and it's so easy to

    calculators I didn't know we could use

    a packet I'm so screwed for 

    a teacher who doesn't teach

    I have never been this panicked
