20 Seconds of Insane Courage

Dedicated to Alicia and Emily. For helping me with my 20 seconds of insane courage.

To change an outcome of a situation, 

To change a thought into an action,

To send a wave into motion,

All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage.

You'll never know what's waiting for you,

Next thing you know, everything will be new,

But to make the best of the present,

All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage.

20 seconds to utter the first "hi",

20 seconds to take the stage,

20 seconds to look beyond the first page,

20 seconds to admit a lie.

20 seconds is all you need,

To make a bad day good,

To turn a frown upside down

To spread happiness.

To be the cause of something great, 

All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage

To make a difference,

Only 20 seconds of insane courage.
