POEM: I Dared to Care

I dared to care but
fear took over my sight
and while I got to a certain height
I had already lost my fight
and my bite became painless
that's when I got careless
and felt depressed and stressed
but nevertheless
I still want to care
and while I often stare

in the dark beyond
or get caught up in the
talking all around
and the other sounds
that resound and distract
from my mission
I still have the vision 

I just have to regain my passion

and leave the passing fashions

I have to start caring

and stop staring

I have to reset

and leave the regrets

and I bet

things will turn around
