185: My greatest fear;/my greatest fear is...

My greatest fear;

my greatest fear is

          my ordinariness.

 

I’m coming to terms with being ordinary.

I’m ordinary, and it’s alright

                     it’s okay.

 

We all want to be some kind of superhero

but our only superpower

is our ability to see and accept

who we are.

The return from mystery

the end of hiding

the hiding of our true simple, ordinary selves.

 

And in the end,

at the beginning

to show our true us:

Stand naked. Stand naked

and be honest

and you will shine

like any other ordinary

star
