What if we weren’t afraid?

for how long
will we let fear ruin us?
the fear which we attain,
the fear which we raise,
the fear which we let live inside,
the fear which rules our lives,
the fear which lets us down,
the fear which grows its roots across our lives,
but what if we weren’t afraid?

the kid didn’t protest his father
he was too little and too weak,
the student didn’t recite his verses in class
he was too bond of discipline and rules of school,
the girl didn’t be a leader
she was too shy to get of her closet,
the boy didn’t leave his 9–6 job
he was too afraid to try what he want and fail,
the girl didn’t choose to be a singer
she was too afraid to fail,
the boy couldn’t ask her out
he was dwelled with fear of rejection.

fear of failure,
fear of rejection,
fear of breaking norms,
fear of breaking rules,
fear of trying new things,
fear of dwelling on old state,
why do we raise fear?
why don’t we come out of our closet?
when is the right time
to let go of chains straining our dreams?
when will we live up to our expectations?
when will we regain our self-esteem?
there are a lot of questions
which can only be answered if we start getting control over our fear.

if we want to see ourselves somewhere,
at any time
at any place
within any situation
we have to start breaking the walls of fear
pin by pin
inch by inch
brick by brick
and
start moving ahead with delta progress
because if we don’t let go of fear
we will remain enslaved forever
crying
brooding
fretting over small things
complaining about situation we get ourselves in
and
these are not the worth of time
we are giving in.

If we aren’t afraid
we won’t have to listen to anybody
we will listen to our guts
do what we should
do what we want to
we will fail
we will fall
but we will rise
we won’t have regrets
we will try
try
fail
try
fall
try
and
succeed
and
keep moving forward
until
we reach somewhere.
and
will
keep achieving new milestones.
