Competition

Competition
By Christabel Germain

What if;
Reality doesn’t prevail?

What if;
Reality is surreal?

Effort is piled up so high
Investment is monumental

In reality,
Risk is inconsequential,
In my heart,
Risk is behomothic.

Fear wells up inside
A flood threatening
To ruin all

At the edge of a dream
Gate is open
What happens if I can’t walk through
Or
I get to the doorway an my name isn’t on the list

Desire indescribable,
Failure a potential

Quaking
I face the challenge
Failure won’t win today.
