We Should Never Be Afraid Of Failure

Failure Should Be Afraid Of Us.

Staring at this blank page,

Afraid to write,

Afraid to tell the world,

How I am feeling,

Yet;

Words are not meant to be quiet,

They are meant to be written,

Or,

Spoken,

Loud and proud,

Ink can only flow from the pen

if we let it,

Our minds can only think,

when we want to,

And words only become seen or

heard,

If we let them,

No matter how much our

takes hold,

Or how long writer's block

stands in our way,

With tears in our eyes,

Our mouths open wide,

Sweat dripping down our brow,

And our hands shaking as we

hold the pen,

We should use all our might and,

Tell the world what we are truly thinking,

For,

We should never be afraid of failure;

Failure should be afraid of us.
