Fear that Future Ahead of You


Am I Good Enough?
 
My dreams are not in the clouds 
They are right in front of me 
I see them vividly 
All my aspirations and goals
College, lawyer, politician
It seems so simple.
 
But am I brave enough to reach out in front and grab the future
 
Will I drop it
 
Can someone help me 
I have spiraled 
I am scared 
It’s too much
 
I’m not smart enough 
I’m not fast enough 
I’m not brave enough!
 
But I am enough?
I was born enough? 
 
I will not cover my head and shut my eyes 
My future is too bright for me to hide in the shadows
 
I grow strong and powerful with a few magic seeds
You can do it
You have what it takes
You’re ready 
 
And then 
 
I grab it and suddenly I’m not afraid
