Standing up


This fear seeps through the door into my head, whispering that the people of this place will never understand what I'm feeling or my thoughts. As the fear you're starting to take over my body, I begin to breathe heavy, my face turns red, and I start to shake.The room starts to get hotter and everyone is staring, he asked but a simple question "Why do you believe this?" I think back to all the times I have been told I'm wrong, and the times I have wanted to run away because people have steamrolled my ideas. I stand up straight and take a deep breath, reminding myself I am a strong woman with beliefs that need to be heard. I state my arguments and then start asking questions of my. The feeling is sensation.
