i like how there was a combination of inner thoughts and the actions of the person in one poem and the use of italics and youre clever wording made it work really well. This was a great poem because you do acknowledge people's fears but then encourage them to pull through it. Good work!

Beautifully written. So refreshing to have some light in the darkness of angst. Confidence is great!

"I never have doubts... and with each breath I take I am perfectly fine. So I wear a smile constantly." I loved that line about the mask we all wear to keep our fears behind our eyes. Why don't we just let it down? It's a question I've been asking awhile now. Anyways, Beautiful poem!

wow deep!
