Growth and Doubt

So many voices

Vibrant and bold

Is my own too little?

Are my feet growing cold?

What if I say it wrong?

If I make a mistake?

What if in my quest to change my life

I cause it to break?

Do I have anything

Worth while to say?

Will people look or listen?

Will they want to stay?

If I sit in silence

I will never know

A shadowed plant left un-watered

Will hardly ever grow
