Dare You to Move

I was one of the best debaters in the country.

I was a top shooter in my unit.

I bear the heaviest loads in my company.

I walk further than you would cycle.

I wield a sword like few can.

I can see at night- pitch black.

But why have i been so scared to put myself out there?

Why have i been so scared to fail that i don't dare to try?

Because i've been alone all this while.

I had no one to cry to when i fail.

Thus i found my value in doing things perfectly

And if it can't be perfect, i won't do it.

So the potentially best debater/shooter/walker/fighter didn't, and wasn't.

What am i to fear now?
