Sing Me Into Bravery

I am, admittedly, terrified of doing well. Also, conversely, afraid of failure. So I what? Strive for mediocrity?

Last night I jammed with the boys and found myself incapable of letting go and showing them what I can do; as though they don't already know.

I know I am talented
I know I will be supported
I know I will not be judged harshly

And yet,

I so want to impress them. All of them.

I CANNOT be mediocre; it's unacceptable.

I made a promise to a dying woman that I would do my best and I'm fearful of breaking that promise.

Why can't I just give my words to you and have you make me believe they're beautiful?

I need to escape, very badly.
