I wrote this poem in 2015 before single motherhood & my deep spiral into depression & addiction. It is so meaningful to me, as it speaks of my hope for myself and I can see now how applying these words truly changed my life
Fear of Failure
Trapped in a crimson
Prison of regret.
Running from the past
Unable to except the way life unfurled,
Angry at the world –
L e t G o
Failure is only the beginning of success
You cant create a masterpiece without first making a mess
Confess
That you are only human.
Choose to believe
That there is more to you
Than you had thought
Have the strength to stand up
To press on
Be inspired!
Let your anger fuel the fire
Feed your desire
To be more To be heard
To mean more To be seen
Let these words be your release
To unlock the chains and set you free
Create a bilboard of yourself
That shouts to the world
Where you are going
Where you have been
Make your belief like rock or granite
Forming a foundation around you
Unbreakable
Unstoppable
Because whether you are losing or winning
Belief in yourself is only the beginning
