I Was Afraid... by toys2seven(m): 5:34pm On Aug 28, 2017 |
I WAS AFRAID I was young and naïve; big dreams in my small head I knew where I was headed; colourful future in my monochrome mind I saw just the destination; not any swerve, not any bend I heard motivational speakers say I have to leave the past behind I was afraid... I didn’t really pay attention; I thought I deserved the bed of roses I quickly learnt what life taught; nobody owes me nothing I stared right at my red sea; I had to become my Moses Going back isn’t an option when your dreams start calling I was afraid... I held on tightly to the mental picture, forging through the storm I was shocked; Belief, Determination, and focus weren’t enough I lost, I cried, I learnt, and almost forgot where I was coming from I realized and remembered the saying “When the going gets tough...” I was afraid... I came to the world a prince, but I learnt to swing the sword I always wanted more; so I couldn’t, when others stopped I can achieve it, if my mind can conceive it; and that was the word I heard that and knew one day I’ll be standing at the top I was(n’t) afraid... I steadied my sling and picked up some skills I was ready to either overcome my fears or die trying I locked myself with my Goliaths, and adrenalin replaced the chills I took them down one after the other, that Spartan feeling I AM NOT AFRAID!!! . . - Jaybee (2017).
