When Fear Grips You Poem by Andesikuteb yamusa

When all your plans drift away,
All Within an inch of completion,
Having invested so much in planning,
And so many hours in prayers
And all you think is left for you is failure,
Just withdraw from the crowd and try so well to see that which you cant see.

When that is,
is no more,
All those bags of cowries,
All those herds of friends,
And you see only you,
And you alone in the middle of a tough situation,
Just call yourself out into a corner and listen even when there is no one to talk.

When life itself is in despair,
Everyone out with the world,
All against a single you,
Still no much energy to fight,
And to die is all you await.
Just lay flat on the ground and smell.
For to succeed and to fail are close door neighbours.
An inch of a distance,
A glimpse of a second,
Is all you need to get home.
