Like an ominous eagle,
Looming above
The fear of failure
Clings to the surrounding air.
Every time I take a deep breath,
Hoping for the negative thoughts
To take flight out of my mind.
But the thought
Of not succeeding
Clouds my vision
And my heart begins to flap.
Millions of possibilities
Flutter around my brain
Of the disasters that could happen,
Instead of the vibrant dreams
I have had planned since thirteen.
Everyday my wings are preparing
To propel me into success
But what if they fail?
I fall.
