I don't want to fail You (poem) - live long enough to become the hero

You know what?
I'm afraid,
terrified even.
I feel inadequate,
not ready,
unable to do what I must.

There's this big unknown,
this abyss of uncertainty,
and there's no escaping it.
All I can do,
all I seem to do,
is fall into failure.

I don't want to fail You
because You believe in me,
even when I hide behind a mask.
Through all the storms in my mind,
You were there consoling me,
until all was calm again.

When I was lost,
You found me and gave me a torch
so I could find my way.
But its light isn't enough now,
it's just darkness below,
like a drop off into the void.

And as I stare into the darkness,
I feel forsaken by You,
and the terror of it holds me still.
Yet I know You are here,
waiting for me to choose to jump,
or run away.

-Zero
