Embracing My Fear

So many things have transpired
of late.
Catalysts of my future,
leaving me inspired.
For what's next.
For what's in store.
Fear has led me to ignore
my path, my feelings, my true self.
This fear took my passions and hid them on a shelf.

I closed my book, chapter unfinished.
Then I opened a new one and put pen to paper.
Writing myself an idealistic future,
a nomadic journey, running, away.

I embrace my fear, I do not oppose.
Failure is possible, who really knows?
But I will not let a single soul
accuse me of not reaching for my goal.
I will give it my all
and when I fall
I will crawl
as far as I have to.
Then rise up and walk
as far as I have to.
And I will break out into a run
as far as I have to.

I give a tumultuous war cry,
a scream to the heavens.
I have been tested.
Dreams; Manifested.
