Doubt and Hesitence

March 10, 2019

Always afraid to make the first move

Always afraid to fight and lose.

Always afraid to make the wrong choice

Always afraid to express my own voice.

Just a simple text, a few words to spurt

But why put myself out there, and just get hurt.

Maybe if I try, I’ll prosper in joy

Or stumble and fall, and have my pride destroyed.

Take a deep breath, your confidence is in season

Nothing to fear, everything happens for a reason.
