Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they are made up of:
1) verb + –ing form . This is called PRESENT PARTICIPLE and it has the function of an adjective (not a verb)
Example: The singing bird is beautiful. The word “singing” modifies the noun “bird” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The bird that sings is beautiful.”
2) Verb+ ed / past participle form. This is called PAST PARTICIPLE and it has also the function of an adjective as it provides information or qualities of a noun.
Example: The wounded dog was crying all night. The word “wounded” modifies the noun “dog” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The dog which was wounded was crying all night”

Im afraid
although I like to mask my fear
I prefer to stand clear
tall buildings mountain tops
or simply just a roof
I imagine the worst
I tremble and even sometimes curse
it's very common to fear
but I prefer to not let my friends hear
as I feel they may make fun
I'd rather suffer instead of run
it may not come when you're young
climbing trees and riding rides
until you feel the fear
and then riding those rides may be hard
lots of courage to ride once more
