Original Poem by Jessica Delisky on July 24th, 2011 for the My Favorite Quote
Contest using the quote:
“You can if you think you can”- George Reeves
You can if you think you can, these words always clear
But do you always need a plan, when you hold some fear?
Fear of trying, fear of dying, whatever keeps fear multiplying
Words are honest and refrain from lying
You can if you think you can
Bravery.
That is the question,
formatted in a statement.
What is its dichotomy,
can we dissect or analyze it?
Is it a cranial function, which
is up to debate in the lecture type fashion.
Does it do well with grey areas, and nerve functions.
Bravery.
Is it a tangible substance,
attained in the supernatural realm.
How is can it be acquired,
can everyone be brave?
Is cowardice its foe,
or is fear it's only malfunction.
Do the brave fear, or is fear not brave?
Love is war but it’s worth the scar
Love is defined by who we are
Go after it with all of your might
See it to the end and never give up the fight
Don’t loose to fear or succumb to loves combat
I know deep down your stronger than that
Meet your opponent on the open field
Wear your heart on your sleeve as your own shield
Take them down don’t run and hide
Beat them off with your feelings from inside
Don’t loose to fear or succumb to loves combat
I know deep down your stronger than that
If your love is true fate will win at the end of the day
Your sweetheart will run to you in there own way
Why would you give up on the one you love
Defeat who ever stands in your way and thank god up above
Don’t loose to fear or succumb to loves combat
I know deep down your stronger than that
Opportunity is knocking, I can hear it at my door
Should I let it come in or keep living my life as before
I know I shouldn't hesitate and just step up to the call
But, in the back of my mind, I'm terrified of the prospect of it all
What if things don't change or they might get worse
My life being the way it is, you'd think I had a curse
The fear I have is minimal as of yet
But if I don't take this chance, I will almost certainly regret
What I am more afraid of is staying the same
What if I never fulfill the dreams that came
And went like the wind blowing out of my life
And I never get the chance to be somebody's wife
Is this where I am going to stay forever
Living in mediocrity, molded together
With fear and unhappiness. I want something more
So I think I am going to open the door
And let opportunity in and see where it takes me
Hopefully, my passion and my spirit will be set free
I removed my glorious wings for just a while
To walk about here on this ground
Now I am so afraid to put them back on and fly again
A terrible fear of heights I have suddenly found
This whole charade is crumbling now all around my head
As I quake in fear at the very thought of flight
Yet I sit and look upon these wings of mine and long
To take off and fly with all my might
As I sit and stare at my wings the only sound I hear
Is that of my own racing heart still beating
In the stillness I stop and realize without my wings
Myself I have been defeating
I gather all the strength I know I hold inside of me
And put my glorious wings back on
With a cry of triumph heard around the world and back
I spread my wings and I am gone
No fear or tear my dear
In those embracing eyes so near
I felt no fear or tear my dear
In those embracing eyes so near
Eyes fresh flowers throughout the year
With ever ready ears that hear.
With willing hands my burden to bear
Those embracing eyes so near, my dear
Put worthiness in me at top gear - No fear
Eyes so awesome yet gentle dear
Invisible, indescribable yet so near
Like consuming fire sucking fear
Weeding out thoughts that cause tear
Watering saplings good produce to bear - No fear
Lost in those embracing eyes my dear
That runs to and fro throughout the year
Sketches of life with paints of love doth smear
Like a babe transferring my fears and tears
I rest in that bosom that’s above a mother dear - No fear
Fear is like a lost wallet
Once you clutch the ball of it in your hand
You see it there, full and clear,
It dares you to lose it again, so you can seek to find it again
Fear is the victim.
I will concur the most I can when I reach into my pocket of dreams
I will pull out fear and use it
Like currency
To buy me more of this priceless life
And another round.
Fear is the odd fraction of the equation
Inhibiting you 2 be you
Times 1 to be oneself
I am fearless squared.
I fear none with you on my side and detour the steel doors in my face
With grace I am here to be the methodology of my race
Move in search mode
Cruise the road of fear in my grey Cadillac
Motion the thought: "I am here to experience it all!"
All the paths I have traveled, fear crossed and tracked my scent clear
Wallet of wisdom's riches
Savings in the bank for a rainy day
10%
Feel the drawer open and let my courage flutter out
Money can't buy me priceless life
Dollar days at Feardom City are here to stay.

what I fear?
I fear that I will never succede
or noticed
the words of my lyrics, never recited or used as inspiration
my fear
overlapse beyond the human race
desctruction
violence
killing our human species
one globe
gods peacefully environment ,tortured
I fear life
the seasaw affect of obstacles
the surfing of waves to accomplish success, but may get wiped out because the statictics of
failure
quitting
NO
WHAT I FEAR,"IS FEAR ITSELF"
SO BEFORE I DIE, I FEAR MY WORK OF INSPIRATION. WILL NEVER CEASE THROUGH THE
LINES OF IMAGINATION
As I pray,
my silent signal travels to distant star
to be relayed to heaven, so near,
yet so far,
that you Lord may hear my plea,
to erase lifelong scars I inflicted unto thee
throughout my misguided existence.
I took for granted you died for me,
your laws I broke deliberately,
I thought of you infrequently,
sins upon my soul weigh heavily.
If I do not act and receive respite,
I fear damnation in pitch black night,
through your death I am ready to receive,
thy gift of life.
I renounce temptations darkness,
I worship you, I bask in your glorious light,
I fear not the night,
knowing when my soul departs this stage,
I will be within your sight throughout the age.
As I pray, a weight has lifted, I am rejoiced, I am saved,
I hear, I obey, your forgiving, loving ways.
To Live Again
by Cate Rock
That night...
It replays over and over through my mind.
My hurt unhidden,
To speak my feelings now forbidden.
Drowning in my own tears.
Shaken by my own fears.
Let down again let down in a poor disgrace.
I faced my biggest fear again,
And I've been let down again.
But its OK...
It wont always be this way...
I'll live again!
...as I've said before...
I'll thrive again
I'll be even better than before.
I'll rise again,
To take my place.
I shall reach for my sky again,
I shall keep my dignity and grace.
I'll face my biggest fear again...
Almost over the edge in love. . .
I'll learn to fly again.
I'll reach up and touch the flying wings of that dove.
I shall thrive again.

In the clef death of darkness.
I show no fear to dream big.
The more i fear the better i move forward.
No one sees my minds eyes
Only my self i conquer my weak side of fear.
I stand to raise my both arms
To breath the life of a champion.
To lived the dreams i desire most.
Liberty and happiness i affirm all achievements i dream.
What is it that I fear? when things are bright clear
Maybe dreams those so dear; fail to come near
Dream akin to concubine; Shy on eyes wide open
Will ever be mine; like crown on head shine
In midst of confusion, I lay lonely on horizon,
To hunt down illusion, and implore inspiration
To conquer denunciation, of dreams I so realize
And cloaked in audacity; to sterile my fear entirely
In solitude I shall cherish; the scars of past fear
Still my dreams unbridle; like unbound lover
Enticingly fail to ebb, vigorous in pride
Had no doubt with glittering hope, dawn will arise
rAHUL...
Of all the scary sights that we behold,
The measure of our fear remains unmatched.
And even with the most horrendous mold,
We cast away the scene our mind has patched.
But shut the very eyes from which you see,
And darkness will indulge your mind for free.
For darkest shadows that inspire fear
Loom not in what you see but what you hear.
But spite the fear and listen through and through
With time you breach the sound with crimson blade.
For there exists so much to frighten you,
That in the end you cease to be afraid.
The time will come when fear will pass with grace.
And chimes become the tears of glassy space.
. This solitary tomb,
A sight of fear and gloom.
Where mortals fear and quake,
From the death they cannot shake.
When by this stone 'tis sealed,
Surely doom is quickly revealed.
Though here they put such a One,
Who claimed He was God's Son.
Even though the stone was set,
He won victory over death.
