Will My Talent Fade Away

Thoughts refill my mind again, 
To were I'm starting to feel doubts, 
Doubts if I'm going to make it, 
Or am I going to be left without, 
I know I have so much talent, 
But I just let it all get replaced, 
If only I put it to good use, 
And stop letting it go to waste, 
All these poems that I write, 
They just faded away each day, 
Cause I'm afraid to show the world, 
Afraid they won't like what I say, 
How do I gain the confidence and, 
Stop living in my childhood fear, 
Thinking no one will ever like me, 
How do I get myself in gear, 
Someone tell me what I can do,
I don't want to lose my current fight,
Which road leads me to that place,
So I can show the world my talents light!

Your poetic talent will never fade away, just give it the light of day. Don’t worry if anyone likes it or not, show the world the gift you’ve got… Belle
