There are too many instances
in my life
where I am embarrassed or hurt.
None of them
seem significant.
Yet, my fear is the one thing I could never control.
Fear of failure,
of looking stupid
or simply making mistakes.
Yet all of those instances
have made me stronger.
I am who I am today
because I failed yesterday.
Tomorrow, I may not succeed
but at least I know
I’ll have tried my best
and someday,
someday
I will succeed.
