The fear

The fear of failing,

The fear of falling,

The fear of losing,

The fear of hurting

The fear of being judged,

The fear of not being loved,

The fear of being criticised,

The fear of not being believed,

The fear of speaking up,

The fear of owning up,

The fear of accepting up,

The fear of standing up,

The fear of making mistakes,

The fear of the ifs and the buts,

The fear is a baggage that I carry all along

Why can’t I be a bit headstrong?

The fear that rips my soul apart

Why can’t I control it the moment it starts?

The fear that I live with day in and night

Why can’t I conquer it with all my might?

It is just a feeling, your mind needs to fight back

Every time I defeat it, it just makes a comeback
