Fear of Failure

I have a huge fear One that is simple and big I can’t face this fear It kills my soul by failure Slowly it eats me away Through many of ways I have seen hated failure I can’t face others I don’t have the heart to show My failure to everyone heard Messes with my head Giving thoughts I can’t do it I’m below normal Hating fear of true failure I try everything to stop From this to happen And this is truly my strength Know how to avoid By not having to worry Never worry forever Russell Sivey

Never fear man or the imperfection arising there within...Fear only the Almighty, for he is the Ruler of All Our Days!

deeply penned with emotion Russell.. facing our fears is difficult but strengthens our inner core for we are more than conquerors according to the Scriptures luv.. an honest revelation...

Indeed - we are often our own worst critics

You remind us how these feelings can take over if we let them but the end of your verse shows mind over matter. :)
