Fear of Failure

Posted by Terrence Johnson

I'm afraid to fail
If I fail
I become frail
In my eyes
Weak
A shell of myself
Perfection
That's what I strive to be
Succeed in everything
If I can't
I don't try
I choose not to do new things
I hate being average
If I'm not the best
Why try?
Wasted time to me
Am I afraid?
Couldn't be
Could I be?
Will I actually fail?
Maybe
Maybe I know I will succeed
And that pressure is too much for me
Stronger than I want to be
Thought that I could be
I could just be afraid of failure
The failure to live dwells inside of me
