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.

Excellent poem, Skye! You will soar like an eagle! We all get those "what if" flutters and that's okay.
Thank you Christina! I always appreciate your kind comments 🙂
You fall; then rise like a phoenix out of the ashes. Fear of failure is what will hold you back from meeting or exceeding your goals. I wish you well poet and your future success.
I know failure is a part of success but it terrifies me, thank you! 🙂
