Fear

More Than Tangible

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I feel it starting, somewhere deep in my gut

Until all that I taste is my insecurities and stuff

The voices in my head tell me that I'll never be enough

The smell of defeat makes me want to give up

I see I need reminding again that although it's rough. I am more than able and I'm calling fears bluff
