To do as much as you are willing to do
to achieve what you have set your mind to.

To overcome your fears as you do
what you need to do to be content with yourself.

Maybe even leaving your comfort zone a little,
which I rarely ever do.

I have only now come to realize
that what's holding me back
is this constant angst.

a fear of the unknown,
so you rather lie to yourself
to make your life a little more exciting
in your head.
