It’s in there, somewhere, amid
A dozen drafts
Status updates written, then deleted
Tweets left unsent
It’s in there, somewhere, amid
Reluctance to be judged
Unwillingness to disappoint
Yearning to be liked
It’s in there, somewhere, amid
Crippling perfectionism
Misplaced inadequacy
Rampant inertia
It’s in there, somewhere.
So clear out the clutter
Face the fear
And speak.
