Thinking about the future,
She got lost somewhere
The future and its uncertainities
Gave birth to an unknown fear

What would happen?
How would it happen?
More than the world
Her thoughts consumed her

Fear of the unknown
Created a knot in her heart
It hampered her progress,
Forbading from making a fresh start

Tears were many
Smiles were few
All her dreams
Were like drops of dew

Confusion in mind,
What to do?
How to achieve success,
In her heart, fear grew

She searched for it everywhere
Pleaded for someone to give it
But every time she climbed a step
She stumbled back on her feet

Stumbling and falling,
Gave birth to a resolve
Overcoming her fear,
She'll improve and evolve

Evolve, she did
Transform, she did
All her scars and fear
She efficiently hid

Some challenges are thrown,
Some challenges are won
But to win over life's tests,
Fear should be none

But the fears are never gone
They just hide down below
Waiting to jump out again
Waiting for a little blow

Time and again,
Those hidden fears resurface
But we have to keep fighting,
If we really want to win the race

Just like she did
Scaling the peek of success
Since then the class of Life
Never had a recess
