In the shadows he waits, hesitant and unsure
A solitary figure, standing tall yet insecure
He longs to break free, to spread his wings and soar
But fear grips him tightly, holding him back once more
He wants to be brave, to face his darkest fears
But the unknown terrifies him, reducing him to tears
So he stands alone, lost in a sea of doubt
Silent screams echoing within, a muffled shout
The world beckons to him, calling out his name
But he remains rooted in place, paralyzed by shame
What if he fails? What if he falls short?
The thought alone fills him with a sense of dread and discomfort
Yet deep within him lies a flicker of hope
A tiny spark that refuses to let him mope
It whispers of potential, of untapped ability
Encouraging him to break free from his self-imposed captivity
So slowly, hesitantly, he takes a step
Toward the light, toward the unknown depths
With each movement, his resolve grows stronger
His fear receding, his doubts no longer
And in that moment of bravery and defiance
He sheds his cloak of fear, his shield of compliance
For he realizes now that to truly live
He must let go of his fears, his insecurities forgive
So he stands no longer alone, but surrounded by light
Embracing his true self, his spirit taking flight
And though the road ahead may be uncertain and unknown
He faces it with courage, no longer standing alone.
