Living

If you want something so badly what do you have to do to take it . Fall to your knees begging and asking the big man upstairs to lend a hand . Or do you stand up despite the fears that truly make you want to bend . To accept less but you will be paying for the rest of your days . As resentment is a vengeful force and it will eat you up and spit you out in all that you remain.

Fear can be rocket fuel if you take it as it sizes you up it is counting on your retreat. If it was a betting man it’s money is on a definite cert it’s going to win without any bets taken it sees you shaking and quavering  . This is your chance don’t move an inch or think too much . Thinking and ruminating makes fear feel ten times stronger by the thought and its itching to keep you in its grips and you in its cage .

You hold your ground and accept your fate but it will be by your own hands not by another’s . You may lose or win its fifty fifty so go on and take your chances as it may not come again but fear will . It will wait while you try to appease it but it will slowly creep in until it has you in the middle of the night as you clamber to find the light . Yes you will live a life but it is one of surviving and appeasement. Life ins’t that it is for living so go on and feel the fear and do it anyway .
