Phobia

Flora grace 2000 (Ogun state)



Today reminded me of my fears,
Failure!! How much I've failed,
How far I've come, without realising,
So I decided to count my blessings,
In the midst of my struggles,
I couldn't help but weep,
For my weakness has destroyed me,
And finally caused me my strength.


I've lost my sanity to my fears,
Of losing in the race of life,
So much that I count myself unlucky,
And unworthy of been a winner,
I want to rise!! But how?
When I'm stuck in quick sand,
I wish to shine!! But how?
When I'm lost in the dark.

Phobia, I felt caused me, my life,
But choices made mockery of me,
Wrong choices made me fall,
And the right ones, made me,
So I chose my path,
Never to make choices,
But only follow his will,
Walk in thy path, and light,
Because only in him will I shine..
