Fear

It ties you up

fear of success

Keeps you from succeeding

fear of trying

Keeps you from attempting

fear of laughter

Keeps you sitting timidly

Fear of embarrassment

Keeps you from being you

Fear of failure

Keeps you down

Fear of dreaming

Keeps you from imagining

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

It’s a dream killer.

It’ll destroy your creativity.

It’ll steal your genius.

It’ll rob you of yourself.

If you let it.

You got to fight it.

You can’t let it win.

You have to stand up to it,

To stand up for yourself.

You have to defend

your dreams from

FEAR

The killer of dreams.

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

F - Face your fears head-on

E - Embrace what you don’t know

A - Accept that being scared will happen

R - Remember, always, that you are strong and able

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
