You wouldn't want to be in their place
Believing they feel what you feel
Your fear of trying something new
Of trying something few would do

You project your feelings on to them
You assume it's too much for them
But maybe they are more courageous
More courageous than you think

You underestimate their strength
Their ability to think on their feet
You cannot comprehend it
You'd just admit defeat

They feel the fear and do it anyway
They take the unknown pathway
Of their own imagination
In a world of their creation
