Making a difference

Am I afraid of success,
Am I so sure of failing,
I do not look out for happiness,
Spend most my time wailing....
Oh! What a Shame.

Am I so deep in the dark,
That I do not see any good,
...

Am I really that closed in,
That I am lost in the wood....
Oh! What a Shame.

I know I am better than that,
I know it is just a phase,
Making a difference within me,
A gleam in my eye, not a trace
Of oh! what a Shame
