When I was afraid of the dream, I drew closer

I was afraid to go on,
To reach for a star beyond my sight,
But my heart told me:
The heavens don't grant favors to the fearful.

I walked a desolate path,
As if planting hope in stone,
But every step taught me
That patience is the gateway to miracles,
And that pain is another face of light.

And today...
When I looked back,
I saw that fear didn't stop me from reaching my goal,
But rather led me to believe in myself more.

For I learned that dreams don't run away,
They only wait for those who dare to take the first step.
