Lessons of Lifei feared being alone
until i learned to like myself i feared failure until i realized that i only fail when i don't try i feared success until i realized that i had to try in order to be happy with myself i feared people's opinions until i learned that peolple would have opinions about me anyway i feared rejection until i learned to have faith in myself i feared pain until i learned that it's necessary for growth i feared the truth until i saw the ugliness in lies i feared death until i realized that it's not an end but a beginning i feared my destiny until i realized that i had the power to change my life i feared hate until i saw that it was nothing more than ignorance i feared love until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days i feared ridicule until i learned how to laugh at myself i feared growing old until i realized that i gained wisdom every day i feared the future until i realized that life just kept going better i feared the past until i realized that it could no longer hurt me i feared the dark until i saw the beauty of starlight i feared the light until i learned that the truth would give me strength i feared change until i saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a metamorphosis before it could fly This poem is about learning from your fears and overcoming them. |
