Feel the Fear To Do It
Fear can be so debilitating
when it's allowed free reign
facing it head on is my key
giving up leaves a big stain
Words have been my big fear
getting them from mind to tongue
making that instrument to speak
has been tough since I was young
So easy to speak when alone
but cracks under people pressure
nerves take over stunts thy voice
makes one's mouth show no measure
One must learn never to give up
no matter how fearful we feel
it needs attacked so to overcome
so that in our time it will heal
Fear is never as bad as I think
so need to put fear way behind
must never let fear stop me speaking
in feeling fear so words will I find
(My biggest fear in all my life has been my life long struggles with my stammer, so this my thoughts on overcoming fear which makes one fear in speaking. )
