\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am scared.<\/p>\n
I cannot move.<\/p>\n
I cannot breathe.<\/p>\n
I tremble and shake.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
My mouth is dry.<\/p>\n
My heartbeat is a drum.<\/p>\n
My knees are wobbly.<\/p>\n
My hands are clammy.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
My mind is blank.<\/p>\n
My eyes are haggard.<\/p>\n
My nose flares.<\/p>\n
My stomach is a knot.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am terrified.<\/p>\n
I am anxious.<\/p>\n
I am worried.<\/p>\n
I am stuck.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh! What do I do?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Do I cringe?<\/p>\n
Do I stop?<\/p>\n
Do I quit?<\/p>\n
Do I run?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Do I persevere?<\/p>\n
Do I push past the fear?<\/p>\n
Do I tread though it is not clear?<\/p>\n
Do I move forward though none cheers?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I will give it a try.<\/p>\n
I have nothing to lose.<\/p>\n
I have all to gain.<\/p>\n
I will do it afraid.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dear me, I release you.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the journey, embrace your failures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Take pleasure in your small victories.<\/p>\n
Be kind to yourself; this is the oxygen that will take you to the summit.<\/p>\n
