poetry by j matthew waters

the fear of failure

listen to my incredible story
recounting the risk of death
here there is no such thing
as seeing is believing
oh no you must first
close your eyes
and learn to listen
learn to fly like a bat
free falling into the darkness
the fear of failure impossible
the courage of flight
never-ending

march two thousand twenty
