Not Every Voice Inside Your Head is Fear
Fear taunted me with my weaknesses
It reminded me how I could fail
Every day it gained ground in my life
While my aspirations got father from my reach
But just as the night brings darkness
There are dreams that come to me in its midst
Showing me vivid colors and hopes of what could be
Hopes of becoming someone that gives hopes to others
Giving me just enough confidence to try and reach for it
Leading me down a path that twist and turns
Others fall off the path that held so many hopes
Fear is quick to use it to plant seeds of doubt
He asks, “Why will you make it to the end if they did not?”
The light at the end of the tunnel is dimming and fear is winning
My heart struggles to remind me that passion outweighs the cost
But it is the littlest of voices inside of me that gets my attention
Reminding me of a time when I loved to play doctor
The happiness it brought me to take care of others
The lives I could save and the hope I could bring
It gave me the courage
Courage to focus on the ever-growing light as I moved forward
Fear yelled at me every step I took
The child that I once was yelled louder
It gave me the strength to face fear and focus on what I was fighting for
A life where I could fight the fears that haunted others
I made it to the end of the tunnel
That dream of becoming a doctor was now in my grasp
