An Automatic Response
Fear
Everyone has it
This tricky little thing
That holds us back
Fear itself is just an automatic response
We don’t choose to be fearful
It just happens
My biggest fear
Getting accepted into nursing school
No backup plan because
I figured I could do anything
If I tried hard enough
People constantly asked me “Well,
What if you don’t get in?”
No reply
Through the long days and
Even longer nights of studying
I proved them all wrong
Hard work pays off
Set aside your fear and
Conquer the world
