Fear and Fearless
Depending How Powerful Myself Talk Can Be
Can I do this, I am afraid!!!
It’s is going to hurt me!
What if a bad thing happen in the process?
I am so scared!!!!
Don’t do it!!!!
Do it!!!
I have the courage to do this!!!
What if this solve my health issue?
It will heal me!
I can do it, I have to!!!!
This week I have two MRI , I am scared but I know I need to do this for my health. My mind is at war with itself. I am fighting for courage and to think positive. I overthink things and my fear sometimes win over. Positive self talk is a must.

"Letting go of my ego"
Shadows deep, where whispers lie, A soul entwined, where echoes cry. In veins, a dance of sorrow's bane, Where shadows dance in endless refrain.Each needle's touch, a fleeting bliss, Yet chains of darkness, tighter than this. In veins once pure, now rivers tainted, Where dreams once bright, now forever painted.The body trembles, a vessel frail, As heroin's grip, a merciless tale. With each inhale, a numbing shroud, Yet deeper within, a silent vow.The brain, a battlefield, neurons torn, Memories fade, like petals, worn. In dopamine's embrace, a false solace found, Yet truth be told, it binds, not unbounds.And what of the soul, once vibrant, free? Now shackled by this cruel decree. In shadows deep, it yearns to soar, Yet trapped within addiction's door.But hope remains, a flicker small, Within the heart's eternal hall. For even in the darkest night, A spark of light can ignite.So let us reach, for hands to hold, And break the chains, however bold. For in the journey, lies our fight, To reclaim the day, from darkest night.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.

I like how this changes as you read it in reverse, and the rapid lines show thoughts that are quick and changing. I hope it went well for you in the end😊
🥰Mariann...Sending love. ❤️
Health stuff is scary and I know that even scary we take one step in front of the next and get it done! I think it is way worse to not know! And I always tell myself two things: 1) What is the worse thing that can happen? So, if you know what it is you can do something about it but not until then! 2) All this worry is bad for my health and it is probably nothing or something minor! So all this worry for nothing!
Oh, Mariann - I'm so sorry. I'm thinking of you and rooting for you. You've got this. 💗💕 Also, you did a marvelous job with your poem - you perfectly reflect the mental process of talking yourself in, then out of something. I'm so sorry you're going through this. 💗
I'll keep you in my prayers! Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
You can do this, Mariann. Just close your eyes & take deep breaths (until they tell you to hold it, that is).
Very nicely done.
I hope the MRI give you the answers you are hoping for. My best wishes are with you. Loved the pic for this powerful poem
Have courage! You can do this. 👍😉 I has something similar happen to me, where I have intense stomach pains, I went to the clinic, got x-rays, and they couldn't find anything 😕. I'll be praying for you.
Maybe gospel music and headphones will help ease your mind. It will be over before you know it. I agree... you CAN do it!
I am wishing you a great health report. I completely understand what it's like to be afraid of test results. The doctors can cause serious anxiety and overthinking, but it's best to know than to not know. Loved your poem!
You can do it ! Fears are normal.. it is just something you are working through. ☺️
Great poem... "Do it!!! I have the courage to do this!!!" So true... it's worth the stress etc. I've had a few MRI's... here in Australia, it was fine... I used my imagination to go far away, typically to the beach or waterfalls & lakes! As they say..."You go girl... you've got this!" All the best & take care.
Sending you love Mariann.
What bad thing might happen? 🤔
