Dead Pictures


Dear Fear, 

Man is only stopped by two things in life that is death and fear. You are always present day and night for everyone. Although some may seem less afraid in certain situation compared to others you are still felt and ackowledged but can be beat. You appear when someone fears failure and making a mistake as well as the fear of success and not knowing how to handle it. It must be nice being able to succeed without having to face you but its imposible your strong. But when I do win some battles against you it feels amazing its a whole other world where it feels good to be able to try and accomplish new things. So many things I missed out in because you stopped me from going on a ride or on a rock wall or answering a question in class or applying to a school because I thought of how stupid I would have looked if I was rejected or messed up somehow. But those who have been able to overcome you are living a better life not being limited of their full potential. Oh fear how my life would have been betetr without you, I would be able to go for everything I ever wanted to but it seemed as your my parent because you were with me more then them and made me who I am. It protected me some times but most of the time you made me miss life changing moments. From now on I do and go for what I want with you by my side but no longer in front of me. 

Sincerly, your latest victim Darline Castaneda.
