courage

palms sweating
stomach knotting
fear overtakes me
run away
far away
don’t look back

you’re weak
you can’t do anything
fear overtakes me
it’s hopeless
you’re hopeless
why bother?

no
that’s not true
I will stand firm
I will step forward
I have hope for the future
I can make a change,
in my life and the world,
for the better
