I tell my self I am not afraid
But as I utter these words
I know it is a lie
I am so afraid
That my love will walk away
That I will never achieve my dreams
This fear may seem to hold me back
But it drives me forward with such a hunger
I must succeed, I cannot fail
For if I fail then I die
And its all been for nothing
And they win
I cannot let them win
I cannot let them take control of my destiny
I will not let them win
All who have doubted my dreams
All who have tried to keep me down
Will soon see they mean nothing to me
All that they try to do will simply crumble in their hands
This is my last stand
So look and hear me now
As I utter this vow
You will not win, I will not fail
All of your words and actions
Seem to pale
I shine brightly
And you cower in the dark
I am blooming
And you are rotting

Bravo Poet. Stand tall. No retreat, No surrender. Very well written.

Girl you will not fail the fear is only one more
step to get past I have no doubt that you will
get past that nothing at this point will stop
you from the path you are to follow or the full
bloom which is closer than you really know. Each
time you take that step forward you are closer to
that day soon g/f soon!

that's the way to say it
