PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I stand before that which I fear most

I'm frozen in my place

If I turn away from this test I'll never know who I am

I try to move forward

But I feel something pulling me back

I turn around and hide my face

I'm such a coward

I clench my fist together as tears roll down my face

I grit my teath and think "I can do this!"

I turn to face my fear

I break into a run

No looking back this time

I feel pride for what I'm doing

I see others standing at the edge

Their backs are facing me

I'm running toward them

Now I've left them behind

I now look to see what I've won

But now I'm back where I've started

Now I have a new fear to face
