Holding Back

Everyone has something they fear

Whether it's as small as a spider

Or something as big as death

One's fear is what holds them back

Holds them from achieving what they hope to do

Or what they want to do

Everyone knows they shouldn't let fear conquer them

But no one is ever taught how to do so

Instead they are brought forth this notion that it is okay to fear

And that it's normal for everyone

Instead they learn how to move past it 

While continuing to conquer this fear like everyone else
