Fearless Today Poem by Angelo H.G.

Is it a Comfort zone or a prison cell
I've held back and blamed it on my past
waiting for the day that I will prevail
but now I can't even force a smile or laugh

I feel trapped in my fears these past few years
am I lazy or simply crazy for the excess of slack
embarrassed to step in front of my peers
so instead I doubt myself and turn my back

swinging at life's curve balls
dreaming of a home base at the top
had many attempts and hard falls
seeking admirable seeds to plant a fruitful crop

the days go by too fast to stop and weep in self pity
they never prepare us for true life lessons
I've been played so I play my soul with a MIDI
I pray everyday my weakness strengthens

too afraid to admit but we all feel the same way
give it my all or lay and die with what if...so I'm fearless today
