June 22, 2004

Nerves awake with fired thoughts,
Reluctant to pass,
Eager to please,
Hesitant to face the fears,
Acceptance of my ability,
Past confidence is shaken and stirred.
Where is that power of voice?
Grounded below,
Burning above,
Grasping at the tail,
Turning over in my head,
Resolved to experience,
Must face the unknown,
It has been released.
