Fear and Dreams

March 6, 2019

So what is keeping me from following my heart?

I am not enough

To face the fear that

My passion is

Fruitless.

The fear is

So overpowering that

My dreams are

Crushed.

Because the fear is

Bigger than me,

It seems,

Despite the fact that

I was made for a purpose.

So what choice do I have?

Simply do what is safe

Rather than

Let the fire in my soul take power.

This is what I must do.

Let the fire in my soul take power,

Rather than

Simply do what is safe.

So what choice do I have?

I was made for a purpose,

Despite the fact that

It seems

Bigger than me,

Because the fear is

Crushed.

My dreams are

So overpowering that

The fear is

Fruitless.

My passion is

To face the fear that

I am not enough.

So what is keeping me from following my heart?
