Words, words, and more words!

"Uh...", the croak of my voice barely producing a coherent sound. My mouth gaping open, devoid of any words. My eyes nervously roaming, meeting the judgemental eyes of everyone viewing the spectacle - me.

Badump...badump...badump...

I fell victim to the beating of my heart - its uncontrollable state and growing power violently drums throughout my esophagus. No words, not even a single whisper could escape its wrath.

How do I speak?

I've always wondered how such an organ can overpower my entire being. How opening one's mouth could feel like an entrapment that I've always fallen victim to. Words, words, words. They seem to fill the air, but choke my fundamental way of being.

How do I overcome?

Here's the truth:

Don't be chained to the fear. Let your bold wings soar to travel through the up's and down's.

Your full potential is awaiting you, not fear.
