We cannot experience bravery if we do not first experience fear.
We cannot experience success if we do not first experience failure.
We cannot experience love if we do not first experience loss.
And we cannot experience wisdom if we do not first experience life.
Last night I felt fear for the first time
It ran through my eyes n’ up my spine
Last night I felt fear for the first time
I saw a reflection of nothing in her eyes
Last night I felt fear for the first time
She choked on her vomit. I choked on my tears.
Last night I felt fear for the first time
I slapped her face to keep her awake
Last night I felt fear for the first time
holding her face and telling her to breathe
Last night I felt fear for the first time
I did everything I could and now she’s ok
This morning I felt fear for the second time
Last night was real and not a dream
This morning I felt fear for the second time
Things like this ACTUALLY happen to people
Last night i felt fear for the first time
