I say I am not afraid,
I stand by every word I gave
Yet all the time I tremble,
Scared of the enemies I might make.

I say I  am courageous
That I care not of what they say
As long as my values are kept
Yet the slightest offense, Oh how it make me shake

How strong I try to be,
Yet every time I fail
The sleepless nights have become addicting
Filled with hidden tears and wails so strong.

What choice do I have?
Do I flee or stay, try or move on?
