Fear of success

The sky is vast, and wide,

planting dreams, in our eyes,

so we struggle, with our might,

to reach the stage, in the height. 

Yet, somewhere down the line,

we get tired, weary of the fight,

making peace, with our aspirations, 

keep a comfortable pace, for our drive. 

Fear of success... 

It's a paradoxical condition,

where we had apprehensions,

of any potential consequences, 

that comes, with higher positions. 

For, we were scared, of the changes,

that may come, with additional duties,

that affects our relations, and lifestyle,

and interferes, with our personal lives. 

So it restrains, like invisible chains,

losing precious time, in overthinking, 

wary of making important decisions,

we would voluntarily, clip our wings. 

Fear of success... 

It's a way of self-preservation,

so, we should reflect, make choices,

for, it might be rewarding,

and a fulfilling experience... 

If we gather enough courage,

and not fear, opportunities that came!
