Why Am I So Fearful

Why must I be so fearful of mistakes and rejections

I've asked myself that many times

when I should just be looking ahead

to a bright new future on the horizon 

yet I never see the silver lining in the clouds 

only the dark horizons

I seem to be doomed to make the same mistakes in life

because I never take any chances - any risks

so I wonder if I should not be so fearful of mistakes and rejections

go full bore ahead and set my sights on things to come

the good things and not the bad

to be less fearful of all things, whether it be relationships, money, or life itself

these are things I wonder.
