I am scared.
I cannot move.
I cannot breathe.
I tremble and shake.
My mouth is dry.
My heartbeat is a drum.
My knees are wobbly.
My hands are clammy.
My mind is blank.
My eyes are haggard.
My nose flares.
My stomach is a knot.
I am terrified.
I am anxious.
I am worried.
I am stuck.
Oh! What do I do?
Do I cringe?
Do I stop?
Do I quit?
Do I run?
Do I persevere?
Do I push past the fear?
Do I tread though it is not clear?
Do I move forward though none cheers?
I will give it a try.
I have nothing to lose.
I have all to gain.
I will do it afraid.
Dear me, I release you.
Enjoy the journey, embrace your failures.
Take pleasure in your small victories.
Be kind to yourself; this is the oxygen that will take you to the summit.
