Why am I afraid to try? What can be the consequence of failure? Disappointment? Woe? Dejection? I speak as though it's permanent; As if the rejection letter back from Harvard will forever define of me As if my bruised face will eternally embarrass me from another fight As if my voice cracking in the middle of a recital will forever Keep me under my potential Why do I say such degrading remarks? "Oh I wish I was like you, i wish I wasn't me, i wish I could have been someone else" When there is no two person alike Maybe that's why we crave to be under someone's shadow Because we think that we don't deserve to have our own fingerprint "Her fingerprint is so much more valuable" "Her smile is worth more than mine" There is no hand like mine No soul that can shine And can rejuvenate hearts and rekindle smiles like wine No one person like me Exists other than me It's lonely and misleading Because I'm the only one To venture in life in my point of view If I think about it, it's upsetting No one can understand my heart My wonders, dreams, secrets and thoughts Other than me We are the loneliest creatures we know The only one of our kind exists genetically so similar But distinctly so different Through our isolation and pains We unite Under one force of love and affection We create the future And to think I won't be part of this future To think I'm not capable of any contribution To the betterment of our society When no one can see things the way I can: How foolish

Fear of failure
