I stare at the ceiling
Laying on my bed
Wondering why
Thoughts running through my head
Is it worth it?
Will this make my life better?
Can I really do something so hard?
What if I fail
The biggest fear of them all
What if I fail
I don't want to fall
The door creaks open
Just a little crack
Light comes in
Landing softly on my back
In walks a figure
So tall and so grand
Sharing a warm glance
Telling me I can
And I get out of bed
I'm gonna conquer the world
Fears out of my head
Laying on my bed
Wondering why
Thoughts running through my head
Is it worth it?
Will this make my life better?
Can I really do something so hard?
What if I fail
The biggest fear of them all
What if I fail
I don't want to fall
The door creaks open
Just a little crack
Light comes in
Landing softly on my back
In walks a figure
So tall and so grand
Sharing a warm glance
Telling me I can
And I get out of bed
I'm gonna conquer the world
Fears out of my head

Interesting read! This poem had a lot to say, and it really delivered with its emotions. The "wondering" tone this piece had, and the almost internal dialogue it had throughout really helped draw out these emotions. In addition your imagery, such as the light on your back and the figure at the door, really made this poem feel full and complete. A great piece with strong emotion.
