I feared

I feared being alone,
Until I learned to like myself what happens may.
I feared people's opinions,
Until I realized they will have them anyway.

I feared failure,
Until I realized that I fail only if I don't try.
I feared success,
Until I realized I could reach the sky so high.

I feared rejection,
Until I learned to believe me.
I feared pain,
Until from all hesitations I became free.

I feared life,
Until I saw it as my ally.
I feared death,
Until I saw it eye-to-eye.

I feared my destiny,
Until I realized that I am its creator.
I feared fear itself,
Until fear became a traitor.

I feared the past,
Until I realized it no longer could hurt me.
I feared the future,
Until I realized it is the only thing I could look forward to see.
