Doesn't hold your fear captive
Or make it disappear
Rather, it makes you look right in its eyes
And stand tall even with your knees knocking against each other
Doesn't lessen the pain when the going gets tough
Rather, it reminds you the reason why
And makes you hang in there
Even when you feel like you can't take it anymore
Doesn't bring the sky closer to you
When you want to fly to the moon
Rather, it brings the believe that you can
And insist that you find the means to get there
Doesn't turn into a cushion
When you come hurling down from the sky
Rather, it persist that you get back on your feet again
And go back to the drawing board to see where you went wrong
Doesn't take the world away
When it is mocking and laughing at you
Rather, it teaches you not be afraid of making mistakes and to
never allow criticism from outsiders to stop you from living your purpose
It would never in a blue moon
Allow you to live down to people's expectations
Rather, it insists that you be real and authentic to the core
As you chase your dreams and run towards the vision
Because there is no victory without pain
No success without sacrifice
and no courage without fear
