Worry

Replacing fear with confidence...

The fear of failure

Grips your mind and body

Forcing you into chains

Having no chance of escape

Hope

Self Worth

Joy

Achievement

All feel lost

Never to be seen again

Tears cascade down your face

Burning dents into your face

Until there is worry no more

The feeling of nothingness

Weightlessness

No fear of failure

Of demise

Of endings

Brings peace into your life

Once you reconcile

With your dreams,

Aspirations,

Goals,

You find what you wanted

This whole time

Your whole life

Open your eyes

And see

What could be done

If you put your mind to it

If you put your heart to it

This piece was written to represent the constant fear of failure that I had throughout the years of high school. Now I regret wasting most of my teen years over trivial things, when I could have easily been pursuing things that I loved. So much time was spent worrying that I was never able to become the person that I wanted to be. I hope that those who feel the same way are able to learn from mistakes and truly find their passions as well.

I wish all of you the best of luck.
