FEAR

Who do I think I am?
 (Waste of space, worthless)
Why do I think I am?
  (A grave mistake...should have been undone)
Know the feeling of cumbersome?

If this is what I was born to do
why must it be so hard?
 (Anything worth doing, is worth fighting for)
If this is what they think I was born to do
why do they fight me doing it?
 (We can not let their fear become our own)
This is YOUR world to roam.

Why am I so afraid to let go?
 (Cause they'll worry if I do)
Why am I so afraid to go all in?
  (What would they do without you?)
Why am I content to whine
while providing the very excuses
they throw back in my face?
Should I be disgraced?

False Evidence Appearing Real
making excuses for the way I feel
hoping that I won't have to lose
if I find the courage to choose
a calling meant just for me
a calling only I can be.

Fear of Failure is prompting us at the New World Creative Union's Wednesday Wake Up.  I'm admitting here, for the first time ever, I have a terrible habit of using others as an excuse not to do what deep down I really want to.  Some consider that a good thing...and that's where my head gets messed up.  I have no desire to harm, offend, or hurt anyone...especially those I love...and I often wonder, how you can be so close to some who believe so differently. The False Evidence is of my own creation...courage and bravery are still on my list of most wanted attributes! Come on over and share your own tales of woe, in words, in song, in pictures...if you can blog it, you can post it!
