Failure.

I'm not sure that I will make it.

that terrifies me so much it hurts.

I feel the tears behind every smile,

but I push them back,

what happens when they break through?

 

I fear the moment of failure,

more than my own death.

The slightest hint of disappointment,

and I might fall, its such a mess.

What happens if I don't get back up?

 

So much tears stream down my face,

I fear drowning in the cause of such a sea.

If i cant make it,

I fear that no one will be there for me.

Is anyone there?

 

So I sit on my shaky seat of a future.

and wait for my fear to come alive.

I cannot predict any outcome,

so I will just try to quell the fear inside.

I'm scared of my own fears, I'm scared of failure.
