weakness that holds me back

There are many fears that we face through out life. Some of these fears we overcome with difficulty some of these fears stick with us through out our lives and may never be won. The part of growing up is overcoming these fears that hold us back from our true potential. We face these fears every day if its at work, school or even in our own homes.

Throughout my nineteen years of living I have been faced with many obstacles that has scared me and made me feel helpless. To overcome these obstacles I had to go through various challenges, embarrassment and great difficulty. Things that Ive had diffuclty throughout the past couple of months has been my work load. Ive had to face the challenges of working, going to school and living without my parents. As I write these paragraphs I feel overwhelmed with the work load Ive had. Each day I wake up at six and have to walk forty minutes to the train station then take the train to go to school. Then I have to sit through class and then go to work. Then I have to take the train back do dishes,cook and clean. My biggest fear is getting sick, this makes me afraid because I will not be able to go to school and miss work. Missing work would be a struggle because then I wouldn't have enough money to pay for my bills.


These fears and challenges through out my day has been hard to overcome. These things are just apart of growing up. I have to overcome these challenges and fears so I can move on with my life and reach my goals. To overcome this I will have to plan out my time wisely and make a schedule that will fit everything into my day. To overcome my fear of not having enough money to pay my bills because of missing work when I'm sick, I would have to save up my money and be very cautious the way I spend it. Then I would put it into a savings account and only tap into it when I really need that money. This will help me conquer my fear and know that I have a back up  






FIGHTING MY FEARS
underneath the skin lies a king
breathing in the skies of the spring
conside with my mind and learn anything
thats the dream ever since the yearn of my up bring
knowledges of twenty colleges 
acknowledge my accomplishments
inconspicuous chronicles
that leave people chronically ill
ive  surpassed with comical lively thrill
so ill but dormant like a neutrophil
replay me like Michael popping pills
pop never paid the bills 
so that means community college for real
ill never let the blues let me loose
ill wear these scars like a tattoo and over come this bruise 
ill never fade away ill never fade away
i will always make it to the next day

  1. Great post.

    These fears are very legitimate. They are real. They are now.

    But it seems like you have a good plan, and to be honest, these fears plague most people everyday. They are a common challenge, "the struggle". It's not easy.

    Your post is good. I'd like to see you write a little bit more in your journal piece. Elaborate. Create.

    Your poem is awesome. Very cool language. "I'll wear these scars like a tattoo".

    Great lines.
