courage

People keep their guard up because of fear. Fear of rejection, fear of putting yourself out there, failure of not succeding and not being able to pick up the pieces. I am one of them I fathem the amount of times that I have placed my guard up so high in order not to feel pain. Sometimes I feel like i miss out on life because i settle for comfort. I sometimes avoid people because of fear that i wont fit in. I fear learning new things and not having the courage to stand up for what i believe in. During the civil rights movement Dr Martin Luthur King jr was more than that and spoke his mind to the world fearless. I admire people like him, people who arn't afraid to speak their mind. He helped the negros get freed by one speech that caused him his life.
