Overcome by fear

Fear

Fear of losing

Fear of not being good enough

Fear of failure

 

Still…

Not being able to overcome it

Hands sweating and shaking furiously

Bitter taste in my mouth

People laughing

Laughing at me

 

Because i’m a failure

Trying to find that small ounce of courage inside me

The courage to stand tall and face that monster

Still searching

But not found

 

So i stay…

Hidden in the corner

Doubting my every move

Ready to leap into the light

Waiting for that right moment

but for now

I stay…

I am a horse

I am a horse

strong but gentile

standing proud

beautiful in its own way

 

I am a horse

fast as the wind,

it rides with its group

In its own world but grounded

 

I am a horse

clear of the mind

eyes that pierce through the darkness
