I AM HERE

A silent voice is not always a happy voice, sometimes it is th victim of being isecure

 

Sometimes its like hand that grips

holds you fast

will not slip

you want to but,

you hesitate

too soon someone has stepped in

and taken the place.

what is it that holds you

that makes you

hesitate,

why is it that some go ahead

and others kind of wait?

I think it is some are insecure

never really stood out

within a crowd,

it is as if we set our bars

hold back

even in our later years.

Next time such opertunity appears

take a deep intake of air

shout 'I am here.'

then take the ride

away from those blocks

those reasons

for not.
