A LIFE OF FEAR

Posted bySangPosted inSelf DevelopmentTags:, , , , 
For fear of the thorn
I plucked not the rose
For fear of the pain
I touched not the thorn


For fear of fall and 
    fear of the flow
Neither did I run, 
    nor did I swim
Just walked on earth, 
just waded in water


For fear of the sun and 
    fear of the rain
Neither did I toil 
    nor did I drench
Just hid in the shade, 
      under the roof


For fear of failure, 
for fear of being lost
Neither did I try, 
    nor did I love
Just floated, just dreamt..


For fear of ridicule, 
for fear of fame
Neither did I stand up 
    nor did I speak


For fear of disease, 
for fear of death,
Neither did I eat, 
   nor have I lived
Just survived.. 
I just survive..


For fear of the thorn,
I plucked not the rose..
For fear of the pain,
I touched not the thorn.
