Frozen in place, too scared to move,
As blurry faces pass me by,
I fear the crowd and what they’ll do
If I would dare to feel alive.
I feel alone and incomplete
While waiting for a chance to live.
Tempting sensation in my feet
Gives me the strength to still believe.
A step out of the comfort zone
And I am free to be myself;
I venture in the great unknown,
Finding myself with every breath.
I am alone and yet I feel
That who I am is now enough;
I have myself, nothing to fear,
Still working on the final draft.
The smiling faces are now clear,
As I complete my work of art.
Now all my colours have appeared:
The world I paint with breathing heart.
