It's Within You

As darkness unfolds she screeches and screams

Hesitant even to cross the narrowest of streams.

As she goes higher she starts to shout

Pull me down or my heart will pop out.

She stands to speak

But all in vain

She stammers and stumbles and loses the game.

Quietly and slowly I see her come home at night

Nobody around but there is still the fright.

Stand tall my friend

There is no reason to fear,

Pull yourself up, believe in yourself

For it's you who can change it

And confidently excel.
