Fear


What are you afraid of?

I see you are afraid you will truly be somebody

Somebody bigger than those who said you couldn't

If I am a force to be reckoned with then why can't they see?

Is it me who doesn't see nor believe?

The fear doesn't have to do with anybody else but me

Who will I be if I don't set myself free?

This place full of fools who despise me despite the love I let shine through and blind me

Maybe that's who I will be, a blind fool who doesn't use the tools of knowledge and wisdom

No! I won't fear myself and my mind will open in time to replace every negative thought of me with the new visions I see
