The Cheetah and I
A cheetah hides in the shadows,
As I hide from my fears.
A cheetah is never afraid, yet I am.
A cheetah attacks its prey with practice ease.
Yet no matter how I try I fail to.
A cheetah can run, while I cannot.
I wish to be more like a cheetah,
Maybe then I wouldn`t be so afraid to face my fears.
I would be able to run at my fears,
Rather than from them,
I would attack my fears with practice ease.
I would be the predator, and my fears the prey,
Rather than I being the prey to my fears,
I run alongside the cheetah now after learning,
I am not afraid anymore.
I am one with the cheetah,
For I am the cheetah,
And the cheetah is me.
