Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a poem by Anis Mojgani called Come Closer.

I have been plagued with anxiety disorders that like to get in the way of success, so I like to look for things that inspire me to overcome my fears.

I hope this helps anyone here trying to deal with their fears of starting their own business or any other fears that might be an obstacle in your life.

come closer

come into this

come closer

you are quite the beauty

if no one has ever told you that before

know that right now

you are quite the beauty

there is joy in how your mouth dances with your teeth

your smile

is a sign of how sacred your life actually is

come into it

come closer

know that something softer than us

but just as holy

planted a piece of himself into our feet

and that we may one day dance our way back home

know that your almost there

come closer

come into this

know that whatever God prays to

he asked it to help him make something of worth

he woke from his dreams

scraped the soil from the spaces inside himself

he made you and was happy

you make the Lord happy

come into this.

come closer.

there are birds

beating their wings beneath your breastplate

gentle sparrows who are aching to sing

come aching hearts

come soldiers of joy

doormen of truth

my heart was too big for my body

so I let it go

and I have shaved off so many of my corners

that I have felt at home only in a ball

bending myself so far backwards

that the song of my mother thought that I was returning

but believe me when I tell you that my soul

my soul has squeezed it's way into narrow spaces

place your hand beneath your head when you sleep tonight

and you may find it there

making beauty as we sleep

as we dream

as we turn over

when we turn over in the ground

may the ghosts that I have asked, enters up through the turning

kneading me into crumbs of light

and into this thing, love thing, called life

come into it!

come you wooden museums

you gentle tigers

you little giants

I see teacups upside down

glowing in your smiles

your hearts are like my hands

some days all they do is tremble

I'm like you

I too at times am filled with fear

filled with fear

but like a hallway

let us find the strength to walk through it

walk through this with me

walk through this with me

through this church of blood, bone and muscle

that is ours

there's a door infront of us

put your hand on it's knob and let it swing open

take a step forward

back straight,

head up,

eyes open

and heart loud

walk through this with me

walk through this with me

thank you
