Selfish enough to be myself?

I am scared;
scared to death.
I don't know of what?

I need money,
security.
I need all that
I don't have!

I am scared;
scared like hell
I can't even listen to myself!

I just let them
do it for me.
I cant even decide for myself!

I cant speak,
cant think,
cant do anything!
You know why?
because I am scared to death!

Scared of life,
Scared of its direction,
Scared of my own self-esteem,
Scared I am!

I want to be great!
Don't you?
And I understand
minus passion
I cant be!

I think I know
what I want to do!
Then why do I waste time
doing things I don't know
I love or don't?

Will someday
I find the courage
to stand, to defy,
to reach out
and be myself!

Will someday
i do
what i want to
not for bread
not for you
for me....just for me....

Will one day
I be selfish enough
to be myself?

Will one day
I be selfish enough
and be myself?

Will one day
I be selfish enough
to be myself?

  2. I was reading for my humanities exam when i came across this concept of familiar feeling called "challenge disposition". The challenge disposition was defined as the belief that change, rather than stability, is the normal mode of life and constitutes motivating opportunities for personal growth rather than threats to security.
