Greatest Fear
I have dreams and goals to fulfill,
Longing for a wife to join me.
Hope for a place to call my own,
The confidence to stand alone.
We all have one fear at the least,
Whether or not you choose to believe.
None of us should trek in fear,
Live in hope not your greatest fear.
When I think I’m getting it together,
Glass shatters by life’s wrecking ball.
There’s always something I don’t get,
A detail that seems impossible to miss.
When revelations finally dawn on me,
Everyone is already seven steps ahead of me.
Will I ever be the well-heeled man I want to be?
Or will I always have an Achilles heel?
