Potential
I am shy, yet motivated,
I wonder how Olympians become so accomplished at what they do,
I hear the thud of an arrow in the distance,
I see a gold medal flash before my eyes,
I aspire to be in the Olympics,
I am shy and still motivated.
I imagine I am on Broadway,
I feel thrilled when I perform in front of large crowds,
I gaze at my reflection in the mirror,
And worry that I will make a mistake during my next performance,
I weep when I sing a gloomy song,
I am shy and continuing to try.
I understand how to be creative,
I say I can do anything
I dream I am a famous publisher, known by everyone in the world,
I attempt to write my own books,
And trust that someday I will be successful,
I am shy and WILL be great.
