I can't let fear of failure hold me back
I can't value what other people think too much
If I fear not getting it right much more than I fear getting hurt
then maybe that's just one good thing.

Perhaps I shouldn't feel like they only like me
if I do what they want me to do and I do it right
Maybe I shouldn't think that fear is going to be automatically overcome by action
Neither is guilt, humiliation or sadness always, but so.
