DESIRE TO BE
Snakes, spiders, sharks, big dogs, wild animals, scorpions, bees, heights, falling, crashing, flying, drowning, being abandoned and being forgotten, of failure and of being a disappointment. All of the things I’ve listed have one thing in common, that is to say is that they are my fears. I know I am a big scaredy cat, and it is a little over the top to have so many fears but I do. sometime when I wake up I just wonder what the point of even leaving my house. however when I think that thought I remind myself about how short life is. I may have many fears but I’m not going to left them stop me from living my life. I will not let myself be my own worst enemy. it is just as P!NK says ” Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame, where there is a flame someone’s bound to get burned, but just because it burns, doesn’t mean you’re gonna die. you gotta get up and try, try, try.” so I have to try no matter what. my desire is Broadway, to join a dance company and to tour the world. the flame I have to deal with is adversity those saying that I can’t do that and that I’m not good enough. I may not be good enough in their eyes but in the best in my own. I may get burned along the way but my wounds will heal. performing is my fountain of youth and I’m not going to let anyone take it away from me. even though I’m my own worst enemy I will succeed.
