Reborn


Power, pressure

Fear and failure

Courage and cowardice

The root of all evil

It brings us down

It makes us rise

It makes us drown

It creates a town

Of misconception

Defeat,

Of oneself, or of the error

Correct it

Admit

Crawl

Climb

Triump,

Can you feel it?

You overcame

These naysayers

They

Say nay

They

LIE

Reward comes from

Focus

Struggle

Strength

Clarity

Direction

Destroy the doubt

Destroy the fear

Become the fear

Tears

Tear those fears

That’s all the gear you need

It may

Takes years

Maybe a moment

My dear
