Breaking Up With Fear

Time to Leap

Time To Leap (For all of us who know we need to break up with fear)

With all these years invested, snuggled up and quite comfortably nested;

I decided that I've had enough!

In a sense I felt so safe, yet, afraid to make a mistake;

Why is breaking up so tough!

I've missed out on so much in life, by now, I could've been what I've always wanted to be.

Somehow, I just couldn't shake you, nor could I break away from you; seems like you wouldn't let me leave!

One day I heard my mother say (to her mother) "You had your chance to live the way you wanted to."

I know what that did on the inside of me...

Fear, that's why I had to break up with you!

So, Goodbye Fear, I've gotta go...and yes, I choose to leave.

I've got things that I want to do... I choose to breathe!

Breathe, as I spread my wings in this great big world, filled with people and their opinions. Everybody has them.

Time for me to take that leap! How far will I go? Further than I can imagine!

***

Sometimes we have to step out into our God given talents, break free from the fear that "we allow" in our lives. Then just do those positive things that we enjoy doing. I absolutely love to write and I will strive to fulfill my dreams... I hope that you will do the same!

About the Creator

Elexis W.

Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved to write. It was my safe place. A safe place fir me to express myself.

When I’d get tripped up on my words, I’d turn to pencil and paper. Something about the way the pencil glides, I suppose.
