Fear to speak. Fear of expressing yourself. Fear of not succeeding. Fear of the eyes and thoughts of others. Fear of just being you. Fear of taking risks. Fear of what's to come.
You know you can't give in to fear, that it's up to you to take a strong breath of courage and deliver your face to the slap. But sometimes it seems that we are so comfortable and protected, away from everything, curled up in that false and deluded caress, with the suffocating embrace and the eyes covered by fear, that you leave it to risk later and follow.
