Fuck Fear

by

entry picture

I’m not focused enough.

I’m not fired up enough.

I’m not bright enough.

Shit, I’m not good enough.

Pause.

I’m watching my mind with my mind now.

Hang on it’s not that I’m not good enough.

It’s because I’m afraid.

Afraid of failure.

Fuck Fear.

Guess I need another shot of courage with a dash of adrenalin.

Same again please.

Now, who’s your daddy?

cheers Raj - needed that. I usually think all of those first four lines before sitting down to write but the rest doesn't always follow.
