Fears
Just Beyond Fear Is Opportunity
Face it
What lies beyond fear
is what makes life worth living
*
Embrace it
Like the first time you rode a bike
without training wheels
*
You knew you might fall on your face
Every kid does at some point
*
But what if the feeling
of flying on two wheels
became your new favorite thing?
*
If you never tried now
would you ever?
*
You had your helmet
You trained for that day
*
You were ready to take off
the extra wheels
you'd become dependent on
*
You were ready for your dad to let go
of the edge of your seat
*
You were ready to take off
into a new way of being
*
Just like the first time your road a rollercoaster
when you were afraid of heights
*
The butterflies swelled
in your stomach
but you had to take a chance
*
Because you don't come to an
amusement park everyday
So you got on, strapped up
and braced yourself
*
When you reached the top
of the highest drop
You wish you stayed home
Then you began to fall
*
The wind rushed through
your teeth as you smiled
*
You screamed with joy
Laughing at your fears
as the butterflies glided
through your body
*
When the ride was all over
your face was beaming
*
The empowerment
of freedom surged
in your veins
*
And you said,
"Let's go again!"
