New Found Motivation


Fear my one and true nightmare

Causing self-doubt, regret, and low self-esteem

Beginning at such a young age

Through family struggles and pain

Allowing my brain to become mentally strained

 

 Occupying space meant for dreams and aspirations

Acting as a limitation of positive situations

Fear representing one true thing

Frightening Experiences Are Real

 

Until one enlightening conversation with a teacher, friend, or advising stranger

Pushes me to take into consideration

What I choose to limit my expectations

Making me remember my unique essence 

Now preventing fear from blocking my blessings

Allowing myself  to meet goals and utilize my set determination 

Reclaiming fear as my new motivation 

To Face Everything and Rise
