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


Sometimes I have to stop myself from falling off the cliff of expectation

If that was all I said, you'd get it anyways

Because we've all been there

Just teetering over the edge

Most of the time you can't tell

People today are really good at hiding it

The mistake is shuffling it around till it all explodes 

Yes, I do that too, you're not alone

When we go through these times, we tend to think no one relates 

That makes it easier to hate everything around us

In some way, this will comfort you 

I know this seems twisted or sick but it's true

The truth is you can decide to keep going

Or start over and chose how much you're going to let expectations decide

Then do your best in everything and you'll be fine

It might not seem that simple 

And you'd be right 

The path to perfection is non-existent

So don't try and hit it

Yet the results can be conjured

Where am I going with this you might ask

Good question, lets's take it from the top

Just be you

There is no need to stress about being the best

We live in a world with so much stress and expectation. I don't think we notice just how affected by it we are.
