The slimy oyster began to stare,

She was the only one who couldn’t bare...this didn’t seem fair. 

All around, everyone took turns,

Chins up, the slimy goo was gone.

She refused, she refused, she clenched her eyes shut. 

Something would go wrong, she felt it in her gut.

Her stomach grumbling as they left.

Soon she would learn there was no need to be scared.

Endless possibilities open up when you’re prepared.

24 hours later and she was back in the chair. 

Nothing could scare her, not even that stare. 

1 2 3 and it was gone out of sight 

This time she didn’t bother to fight

She had reached out of her comfort zone,

Her mind screaming, but she pushed all the orange cones.

Her worry, her doubts, were no longer her master

Out of her shell, each step went faster and faster. 

Pushing boundaries, no longer timid and reserved.

Taking back her life, after all that’s what she deserved.
