i fear

I fear being a failure.
Unable to reach my full potential,
or relegated a footnote trivia.
I want to achieve something special,
turn my life into something consequential.

I fear being useless.
Unable to achieve excellence,
or branded a withered existence.
I want to inspire and influence,
fostering betterment and acceptance.


I fear losing my mind.
Unable to be self-sufficiently free,
or trapped in my body a refugee.
I want to live and die in dignity,
in control of all my physical faculty.

I fear being forgotten.
Unable to leave any impression,
or disappeared from people's recollection.
I want to be remembered as a person,
who is full of wisdom and compassion.
