"Do not fear failure" My fortune from a dime a dozen cookie, and the wisdom is astounding. Yet I don't fear failure, I fear the results that failure implies. Irony at it's finest, the masocist flinching at the thought of pain...

Hurt

Off the edge

I'll step blindly

cause I know

it's only a fall

So why am I afraid to try?

It'd only be a couple of words

what makes this so different?

Why do I fear being hurt?

I'd jump into a fight

with a guy three times my size

cause I know

it's only some wounds

So why am I afraid to try?

It'd only be one more minute

What makes this so much different?

Why do I fear being hurt

It isn't the failure

cause I've failed many times before

What fear do I find

in the unknown?

If I know it's a yes or a no...

How could an answer

possibly hurt?
