Alone, she sits in the dark

She sobs

Yearning to immerse herself in the vibrant world

Yet, bound by the terror of facing reality

She wails

In the blink of an eye, her life passed her by

She sobs

So busy questioning everything about herself

That she evaded finding out who she truly is

She wails

How much time was wasted being scared

She sobs

Consumed by the dread of failure

She finds herself in the depths of her own defeat

She wails

Have fear and doubt been all she's ever known

She sobs

Can she have the courage to face the world

To live before she dies

She wails

Shaking and terrified, she steps into the world

Holding back her tears

Developing a new strength

She finds herself for the very first time

And knows it's okay to cry
