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
