IT'S FEAR.{ AN ORIGINAL POETRY}

Like a bird in the sky you flee,
Running from every obstacle you come across,
You used to say,
Flee today so as to gain
another opportunity tomorrow.
You took opportunities for granted
all because you feel you are unqualified.
You always say “I won’t” all because you don’t want to lose,

You procrastinate things you
ought to have done
For you feel you are not yet fit for it,
you show up to be a coward
when you possess the features of a hero embedded in you,
You fail to claim your right
As a result of what the outcome may be.

Fear! Fear!! Fear!!!
Capable of turning the mighty into slave,
Capable of transforming a destined
rich man to a poor man,
By allowing him to lose what is
supposed to be his.
It makes the strong lose confident in their self
It makes the week lose hope
of becoming strong.
Fear is a great obstacle to man’s greatness,
You must overcome it to be an exceptional man.

Thanks you very much for choosing my post, I am very grateful.

Well thought

Thanks

Fear and procrastination are serious obstacles to destiny fulfillment. Great composition.

Thank you very much for your contribution, i really appreciate it.

ah man this is awesome! thanks for taking the time to write it. I found you on discord today. And glad I did. I could rant for a day about procrastination. It's the greatest enemy of the artist within me, and each day I go out and fight it. Funny, how often we already win the battle - just by simply SHOWING UP and start.

thanks again and best wishes
Sam

I am very happy you find my post useful, thank you very much.

These words are a great threat to other fear related quotes. Who knows we may be quoting these words in future...(for one, I've already started)

Fear makes the worst things possible.
If we do not fight, evil will prevail.

Fear can be a real obstacle, one of my favourite quotes about fear is.

False Evidence Appearing Real

I often procrastinate when I have the fear of failing, but I have found ways to move past it. Thanks for the poem.

One of the best poems I have read on fear. It's either a great motivator or an incredible shackle.

Thank you very much for the complement, moreso, thanks for making it a day in my blog. I will be happy to have you check back on my blog again and again

Great job @okuwashinaayomi! I love poetry and I really dig motivational content. You’ve nailed the spirit of overcoming fear and what succumbing to fear can do to ones soul.

As Franklin Delano Roosevelt so succinctly put it “The Only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.”
