Fear of Success?
I wonder do I fear success
From my low self-esteem,
Which I can't prove but I do guess
Is part of my life scheme.
Low self-esteem can make me feel
I don't deserve success.
How to proceed does not seem real
When life is such a mess.
I also fear that some will try
To get my money and
Do nothing to help but give me lies
They way they always planned.
I must proceed quite cautiously.
Decisions must be made.
Who can I trust to help guide me
So I won't be afraid?
