***Dedicated to BookWorm3Proud because we are anxiety buddies :) please check out her poems, especially her poem called Never Mind in her Words In My Head book, because that one relates to this one a lil bit.
"Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes"
You don't know how much courage that takes.
I stand up to that bully from the gutter
And try not to cringe because I know that I st-stutter
But I won't let him push you around like that
Call you dumb, yell in your face, say that you're fat
"St-stop you're hurting my friend"
And I hope he gets the message I'm trying to send
It's hard to feel like I can make a difference sometimes
Because my hands shake when I point out other people's crimes
I stand up with a face full of anger and I try to shout
But my words don't flow and I my heart is full of doubt
"Y-you can't laugh at me for trying my best"
They don't know how much strength it took to leave my warm little nest.
"P-please just accept me for who I am"
I'm trying so hard not to turn into a clam
So I stand up with a confident look on my face
With my shaking hands and my stutter, I'll put you all in your place
"D-don't mess with us b-because I'll stand for what's right"
They laugh, but my anxiety and I will eventually win this fight.
