fear

Erosion

we are what we believe,
just as we do what 
we think we can -
and are limited
by what we think we cannot -
between the ears
is our sticking point;
it is where we let fear
erode the mind,
paralyzing our dreams -
                            we are capable of more,
                            so much more

fear is a child of the mind
it lives there rent free:
the death of dreams.

it haunts
the gray edges of thought,
seeking stronger purchase;

it is a constant struggle
against the doubt
that let's fear in -

the courage of belief -
in ourselves and our dreams -
our best weapon;
 
we must have it
we will
