Stay Calm Don’t Get Nervous


Sometimes one can get a bit nervous at times 
One can start to feel negative 
Sometimes the butterflies come in 
But we must search within 
There is no reason to fear failure 
Sometimes when you are too scared to try
Just remember the reason why
The reason that you waited so long for  
For you have come too far
Sometimes we are better than we realise
