Fear

Sometimes when
you sit back
and think

You just don't
want to

All those thoughts
swirling around
in your head

Confusing everything
that you think
you know

Everything that you've
laid in stone

The entire basis
for your foundation

Your daily
lifestyle

You start to ask
questions

And the soild ground
you once stood on

Begins to shake

And the fear sets in

The fear of the
unknown

The fear of failure

The fear of success
