A poem about looking for courage.

I’ve started at zero,
Found myself at minus ten
Tried to beat the odds,
but found myself off track again
What will help me?
Make me change my ways..
Take away my fears,
Give me courage
Only time can turn the page

Once I reached my teenage years,
I decided to have a little fun,
but the joyride took a turn for the worse,
and I knew nothing would ever be the same
So I asked someone to take away my fears,
and give me courage,
but only time can turn the page 

I stood in between two burning bridges
Wondering if I would ever reach the other side
I have learned a lot along the way,
and I hope that I can remember those lessons each and every day
Now I am asking for the courage, to help me carry on
Instead of the fear that has always been so strong
