Pressure


Suppressed by fear

Fear of dreaming

Fear of failure

My heart slows

Only for it to beat faster

The world chases me

As I am trapped within expectation

Dreamed myself to sleep

Awaken with anxiety

Will I go far?

The pressure is real

To strive

To conquer

To venture

How will I grow?

Without a new journey

There is plenty for me

Potential to adventure

To find truth

To find purpose

Now for the journey 

Through the pressure of 

Fear itself
