Over-Powering Fear



O' how I fear,
I will founder,
through the shyness,
O' my what a downer,
for all the silence,
here comes the downpour,
louder and louder,
all through the day and night,
for I've encountered,
the New Power,
Igniting a new light,
from the stage fright,
to become prouder,
and not so uptight,
just come to be alright,
as I show am so bright,
like the starlight,
as shy and unique,
as I carry my pride,
continue to thrive,
as the ocean tide.
