Fear is a choice, danger is real, but fear is a choice.


All I’m trying to do is make it

Nothing more, nothing less

Never will I make a fit

Because I’m not trying to be the best

Everyone is reaching for the highest thing there is

But how is that worth it 

I really don’t understand this

I am just a normal kid

I’m not striving for the better

I’m okay where I am 

You think I’m wasting talent

But please understand

All I’m trying to do is make it 

Let me have a rest 

You can keep faking it 

But know that isn’t the best

There is so much pressure to do well in everything. Sometimes you just have to be.

And one day, the girl with the books became the woman writing them.

This is a really beautiful poem. It's simple, but conveys so much emotion, and it's very relatable. Good work!
