What if?

What is more painful than pain? 
It’s the anxiety of pain that is to come

The pain of a needle being injected is nothing 
In front of trypanophobia

The pain of poverty, failure is nothing
In front of the phobia that is to come 

What if I won’t succeed, What 
if i am not working in right direction 

What if the effort is not worth the result…
The anxiety is always more than the pain .
