Fear of Failing

Failure.

That's what I fear.

What if all the work doesn't pay off?

What if I turn into who I don't want to be?

What if my goals remain unachieved?

What if?

Everybody fails,

At some point I did too,

But not everyone

Feels a numbing pain

Like I do.

My fear of failing

Isn't just in my head

It's a powerful chain around me,

The chain that keeps me in control

The chain that makes me push a little more.

The fear runs deep in my veins

It's not just failing

It's also disappointing.

And a disappointment is what I don't want to be.

So failing isn't an option

Even if all the work literally kills me.

Failure is worse that death anyway

Atleast death won't make me feel worthless.
