I have been wallowing
I have been swallowing
I have been allowing
Fear to guide me
And stress to ride me
I have been crying
I have been lying
I have been dying
With unnecessary worries
And dishonest stories
Doubts are confounding
And have been crowding
Crowds I can’t go counting
Doubts and crowds suffocate
I need courage to ventilate
But now I am trying
I think I am breathing
I have stopped believing
In fear and stress
Or the devil’s press
I am now inhaling
Life itself unfailing
Self-respect prevailing
To make me resilient
And a hero brilliant!
