My fears have disappeared

My fears are that I won't be good enough

My fears are that you won't like me

My fears are that I'll never be as good or as clever as you are

sometimes I second guess myself

sometimes I think no one is listening 

sometimes I think..

where all the people

it maybe all in my head but why does it feel so real

instead of me feeling complete I feel empty

instead of me having hope for what I think 

I feel nothing

I just want to be excepted but maybe Im trying to hard

Maybe Im reaching to far

Maybe my Maybe's are just what they are

who cares about my feelings except for me 

only I see the potential in me

I'm trying to convince you that I'm good enough to be on your team

My fears have disappeared

not because I'm avoiding what I just said

they have disappeared because I pushed them far far

in the back of my head

and that and that is where they will stay

because why force myself to live through the pain

I think not 

I think not 

your power will not win over me

My fears are not my reality 

My worries are not going to write my story

If I'm the one writing with the pen

I just love how this poem ends! It's a nice poem that I think we can all relate to, good job!

thank you it means a lot

This poem certainly has an introspective look at ones fears. Although it reads like prosetry, it does some shades of poetry. It would be so much better to use metaphors to describe and highlight those inner emotions and the escape from it. That comes from practice. Not a problem. Just keep writing and adding some more elegant twists and turns into the prose to shift it from ordinary to extra-ordinary. Thanks for sharing

thank you, I wrote this about my own fears as so others can relate thanks for the review :)

You are quite brave to write so freely about your fears like this and I applaud you on that. My only advice is to try joining some groups and try to get Coyote Poetry as a friend since he's always very helpful. Good luck. Fox-
