Confession
By Kate MacDonald A fear of failing, Holds me Back from the doing, The starting, Beginning. A fear of failing, Holds me Back from creating. Inhibits, Constraining. A fear of failing, Holds me Back from the chance Of growing, Succeeding. This fear of failing Closes my mind, Roars through my head, Fills up my chest, Arresting my breath. I know I should start. Pick up the pen, Just make a mark. Wield a paint brush or Ply a needle with thread. This fear of failing Prevents me from falling, But it stops me from flying. In my fear to start, I wallow. If I haven’t begun I cannot then fail
