Afraid To Try

       

He thinks life is unfair

That goals are not worth the dare

That since destiny is unclear

He would not try so as not to wear

He’s always afraid to wake up

Break the shell and climb to the top

Because he doesn’t want to flop

He doesn't run not to even hop

He’s scared of what people will say

When he does things his way

So when chances come to take the day

He gives excuses and hides away

He knows that greatness is not a day’s job

And it’s important to be nobody’s dub

Time is flying yet he continues to snub

Opportunities to grow, now at old age he’s still a cub

So he cries: O life, tell me what to do!

On the last day I don’t want to get a boo

Then suddenly he hears a still small voice

Telling him with such an awesome poise

'Don’t be afraid to try

It’s the way to learn and fly

Mistakes have wonderful messages

From failures success finally comes

Make every dis-appointment this-appointment

If you want to attain fulfillment'
But unfulfilled, unheard, he left the world
Don't be afraid to try was his last word.
