Fear

It's hard to watch someone squander their talent.

Take everything,
but squander the gifts you've been given.
Never take the road less traveled.
Comfort is what you aspire to live in.
Empty, selfish, and shallow;
you strive for something greater.
Fear casts your dreams aside...
Don't worry,
you can live them later.
Let go of the ones who know you
for strangers who say what you want to hear.
Live the lie you thought was yourself.
Go ahead, give into your biggest fear.
