Life Despite Fear

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That keeps me in the game.

Why strive for more

if there's nothing

to get your feet on the floor?

Why reach higher

if there's nothing

to motivate your desire?

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That makes me master every challenge.

Why run faster 

if there's nothing

to make you move past disaster?

Why work harder

if there's nothing

to generate your going farther?

Many people say live a life without fear

But without fear,

How do we master each challenge?

How do we face new horizons?

How do we inspire?

How do we succeed? 

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That keeps us ahead of the game.

I live life despite fear.

Can you say the same?

ROOTS AND WINGS

I thought that wings would help me fly

Would help me sail the world

But all they did was teach me how to fall

Was teach me to walk and stay on earth.

I need roots with wild streaks to keep me in line.

I can’t keep up with winged streaks

I just keep falling behind.

I cannot fly before I walk.

I cannot walk without a thought

To that which I’m walking on.

In time my roots will let me grow wings.

In time I can do anything.

Ongoing Decisions V

Forced to make decisions again and again

When will this come to an end?

Time's not on my side.

Reality's rude.

This time life,please,

 have something positive ensue.

Ongoing Decisions IV

Still looking for something I once thought I'd find.

Something keeps making my heart hit the ground.

It isn't so easy how do I seek out again,

This something so elusive I can't comprehend.

Ongoing Decisions III

Too many questions;

Too many doubts,

Decisions I'd rather live without.

What do I do?

Inner self I ask you.

Tell me what do I do.

Ongoing Decisions II

Hiding out has come to an end.

Seeds of doubt are not my friend.

Constantly yearning,

This emotion is burning,

What does this path intend?

Ongoing Decisions I

Forced to make decisions again

Time's not on my side.

Life intrudes.

Reality's rude.

Another moment has died.
