Fear of Not Succeeding


Not succeeding how can it be?

My whole life was something that pushed toward success

but is it my success or others?

Where do I draw the line of my own goals and dreams versus what others say they are?

I am afraid of not “succeeding”

even when it means I’m not achieving my own goals and dreams.

Fear of succeeding how can it be?
