Afraid to succeed, Afraid to fail, <br />Afraid to do nothing, Afraid to no avail. <br /> <br />Afraid of fear, Ruining my life. <br />Afraid of just stagnating….and dying. <br /> <br />Afraid, <br />Afraid, <br />Fear, <br />And more fear…. <br /> <br />Wondering, how to get around it, And push it aside. <br />Smother it, tamp it down, make it subside. <br /> <br />I want to progress, succeed, and prosper. <br />I want my kids, and family, to be proud. <br /> <br />I want to say, I did it! and say it LOUD! <br />I want to say this is what I want, and this is my plan. <br />These are my goals, and THIS is how I will get there. <br /> <br />I am there. <br />I am here. <br />And it is time… <br /> <br />It is time to throw off the yoke of fear. <br />To embrace the change, <br />Relish the new, <br />And attack life with zeal!<br /><br />Kimberly Lindsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/afraid-and-afraid-no-more/
