Proving Ground

They say I'm a hero
but who did I save
I said I would help others 
and show them how to be brave
but I'm not even brave enough 
to pick up a phone 
and answer someone's calls
I just sit in my room alone 
believing in the lie that is fear
doubting myself 
wondering why I'm even here
they also call me an angel
and I don't even have wings
how am I supposed to fly 
and do all sorts of things 
when that fear keeps me grounded 
I can't even take off
the feeling of letting someone down 
is too much for me to shake off
so don't call me either or 
not until I've proved that I'm worthy 
and I remember what I'm here for
I must put my personal feelings aside 
so my purpose will have nowhere to hide
