Lying on my back,
The shadows all gone
I open my eyes to a new dawn
Can I detach myself from my constant fear?
Of being less than me on this day ride
Having doubts make me cringe
Such agony my heart despise
Lo,I have to cease those words within

Stand, I take charge of my being
Looking out the window
My day is made
like the sky as blue
so my thoughts become
Free of cheerless clouds and scary shadows
I stride out,
my steps, bold as the sun

Author's Notes/Comments:

This is my first poem. I wrote down my thoughts on the pressure youths feel daily to be successful,can lead us to be scared of failing and not living up to others expectation. I guess am not alone. I hope others can identify and surmount this fear.
