Misconception

And towards the unknown I walk
You look at me and see no fear
My gait is steady and my face determined
I turn back to look at you
The admiration in your eyes leaves me speechless

I am in awe of you!
Yet… there you stand looking at me…

Without a word into the abyss I disappear.

I am strong.
I am capable
In my abilities I have faith.
I have no doubt.

I show you nothing.

If only you had looked me in the eye…
You would have seen the questions I had
If only you had felt my heart…
You would have known the apprehensions

If only you had let me speak…
You would have heard; I need to hold on,
I am human.
