Too often we are scared
Scared of what we might not be able to do
Scared of what people might say if we tried
We let our fears stand in the way of our hopes
We say no when we want to say yes
We sit quietly when we want to scream
And we shout with the others
When we should keep our mouths shut
Why?
After all
We do only go around once
There's really no time to be afraid.
So stop
Try something you've never tried
Risk it
Enter a triathalon
Write a letter to the editor
Demand a raise
Call winners at the toughest court
Throw away your television
Bicycle across the country
Try bobsledding
Try anything
Speak out against the designated hitter
Travel to somewhere that you don't speak the language
Patent something
Call her
You have nothing to lose
And everything
Everything
Everything to gain.
