A friend sent me an image the other day
To motivate me, she says
My friend sent me a picture yesterday
To pick me up from my dismays
I have been hearing voices nowadays
These voices lead me astray
The picture defined fear
Fear has two meanings, it read
“Forget Everything And Run
Or
Face Everything And Rise”
This led me to define my fail
It didn’t matter how long I rested
I failed
It didn’t matter how much I prepared
I still failed
I tried
But did not get the desired outcome
And I am tired
Anxiety is oppressing
Failure is disappointing
Living is exhausting
I am disheartened
