[hometext] => Why do some of us harbour such a fear of success?
[bodytext] => Deep inside us all
There’s a spark that always smoulders
Crushed beneath the weight
Of the world upon our shoulders
Deep inside us all
This spark that’ll always glow
Fuelling our dreams
Drying tears of pain as they flow
Deep inside us all
When this spark becomes a flame
This moment is for us
To begin playing this life, this game
Deep inside us all
As we play this game of life
The flame that burns within
Fends off trouble, melting strife
Deep inside us all
When this flame becomes a blaze
It’s time to turn about
To ponder riches within our gaze
Deep inside us all
This fear of life and not of dying
Keeps the burning flame
From expanding, never trying
Deep inside us all
We can feed the glowing embers
With the air they need to breathe
Until they burst, then they end us
Let it burn free

Deep inside us all
There’s a spark that always smoulders
Crushed beneath the weight
Of the world upon our shoulders
Deep inside us all
This spark that’ll always glow
Fuelling our dreams
Drying tears of pain as they flow
Deep inside us all
When this spark becomes a flame
This moment is for us
To begin playing this life, this game
Deep inside us all
As we play this game of life
The flame that burns within
Fends off trouble, melting strife
Deep inside us all
When this flame becomes a blaze
It’s time to turn about
To ponder riches within our gaze
Deep inside us all
This fear of life and not of dying
Keeps the burning flame
From expanding, never trying
Deep inside us all
We can feed the glowing embers
With the air they need to breathe
Until they burst, then they end us
Let it burn free

Hi Kassidi,
It makes me happy to hear other people sometimes understand what's going on in my heart, as I struggle to get it myself most of the time.
Thankyou for your kind words

Why thankyou for your very kind words of praise Cookie, most apprecaited.
I think maybe the fear of becoming, what could be seen by some as, successful in life is because if we did we'd have nothing to moan about and nothing about us for others to feel sorry for! Making us no longer the centre of attention which we once imagined ourselves to be!
If theres nothing wrong with you or your life, then people don't wonder how you are doing, so you get forgotten!
Thanks again
with love
Dean:-) |
