The Greatest Fear: Failure
I wake to the sun peaking over the mountains
Another day
Another day to prove myself
Or not
Pressure
Pushing, pulsing, pounding through my veins
It tightens my chest and craves to eat me alive
Crippling
But I still move on
For the fear of failure is far more deadly than this pain
But fear may not always be the criminal
It gives me my passion
Dedication
Fiece determination
A fiery desire to succeed
My fear motivates my progression
Perhaps without trials one never learns
One adapts
Changes
Evolves
Molds themselves
To be stronger
Durable
A power
Power
Fear
Fear brings about power
Power to overcome the fear that comes with the sun rising above the mountains
