Fear of Success



How can pending wealth

cause so much stress

It ought to be joy

How can hopefulness

of being financially blessed

Make one so coy

Is it fear of success,

or of the unknown

that causes you to regress

To your uncomfortable zone

The familiar clone

of many commonalities

In a whirl pool of finality

Fate predetermined by choices quality

Faith swallowed up in your fear

Lack of self-trust or belief

So your excitement briefed

By excuses that cushion your

Painful stance of hopefulness ceased

Adapting self destructive behavior

Sabotaging your own progress

The fearful never inherit

The unbelieving never see it

So face your fears

Stomp out your doubt

Live to life

Don’t die to death

Do not waste another

God given breath.
