Fear
It ties you up
fear of success
Keeps you from succeeding
fear of trying
Keeps you from attempting
fear of laughter
Keeps you sitting timidly
Fear of embarrassment
Keeps you from being you
Fear of failure
Keeps you down
Fear of dreaming
Keeps you from imagining
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
It’s a dream killer.
It’ll destroy your creativity.
It’ll steal your genius.
It’ll rob you of yourself.
If you let it.
You got to fight it.
You can’t let it win.
You have to stand up to it,
To stand up for yourself.
You have to defend
your dreams from
FEAR
The killer of dreams.

F - Face your fears head-on
E - Embrace what you don’t know
A - Accept that being scared will happen
R - Remember, always, that you are strong and able

This was a gorgeous poem
