No Turning Back

Remember what you told yourself last year
you said this would be the year of no fear
because over the past couple of years
you couldn't handle being judged by your peers 
I mean it's not like they're completely clean
they're probably covered in dirt
while desperately trying to cover the hurt
from the pain that they feel
and that's real
it's no wonder why they haven't healed
but if you ask them about any of this
their lips are sealed
so whether you like it or not
you'll always be put on the spot 
there's no need to run away 
let them say whatever they want to say 
you've never hid behind your past 
sure there were times when you finished last 
but would you really call that your worst
all because you didn't finish first
so before you ask yourself what went wrong
what matters most is that you finish strong
and don't react to every thing you hear
because you said this would be the year of no fear
