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
