Don't Drink Bees

My greatest wish of all is to
Stop being timid in my way
Worrying about little unimportant
Things continually day after day

I wish I could say the things
I feel and not be afraid of laughter
Bubbling out at me that makes
Me feel stupid for years after

I wish I could talk to people
And tell them my inner thoughts
And listen to how they feel too
To know we’ve gotten over rough spots

I really wish people could talk
To me and feel comfortable and glad
And I wish they could share the
Terrible too, things that make them sad

I wish I could just let go
And show myself and feel free
Not being afraid of what I’m
Going to say or do next,
And to just be me.
