Hidden Obstacles

I’d like one day to be a horse,
So strong and running free,
Not a care or hidden fear,
Just a strong and healthy me.

Right now I am a kitty,
 still running from all things,
Nervous almost all of the time,
Till I’m playing with shinny things.

Sometimes I feel just like a tiger,
Fierce enough to take on all,
Until I feel that I’m afraid,
Then off to safety I do crawl.

Everyone suffers of fear,
In one way or another,
yes every single parent,
Along with each sister and brother.

They may not admit to it now,
Until one day they face their fear,
Then they’ll come to understand,
Your hidden obstacles my dear.
