Fear

My biggest fear in life
is the fear of failure
The fear when your dad
looks into your face,
and all you see is disappointment
for not getting a 4.0
for laughing too much
for dreaming during the day
for being sick
of never being acknowledged.

The only day I shall be cured
is when I am not afraid anymore
The day when I shall be free,
not from expectations
but from hand-me-down compromises
of the life that I still have not lived.
I wait for that day.
I fight for that day.

    I fight for that day,
    with all lies I've been told.

    I fight for that day,
    with all the pains I've gained.

    I fight for that day,
    till the dawn,
    not knowing that the day has already gone..

    Yet,
    I don't regret
    for the day was not as I fought for,
    because I fought for what I wanted, till the last breath.
