Out in this world without the aid
of a safety net,
the fear of failure has me
in a cold sweat.
I am taking baby steps in case
I might fall,
there are too many obstacles
always on call.
My breathing is unsteady
and brisk,
I don’t know whether I am ready
to take this risk.
I have lost count of the times
I’ve tried to break free
only to fail and end up
back on my knees.
But maybe this is the time
I will survive,
to venture out into the sunshine
and feel like I am alive.

Beautiful poem
