Curious

What can I do with all this fear
How can I unchain it from my heart,
How can I tame it,
It’s been running in circles
Cocooning in my body parts,
Staging a fire inside of them
Blushing and crushing me,
We’ve been together for so long
It’s the only river I’ve been swimming in,
I’ve been drowning in,
and somehow stayed alive

Will I ever become fearless,
Will I then feel
less or more
myself?
