I dared not to grace the stage
Fearing glimpses of my scars
I dared not to recount the stories
Overtaken by traumas
Scars reminders of trophies
Struggles now triumphs overcome
The feared unknown is less daunting
And fear of hardship dissipates
Adventures await and growth dictates
I embrace the unknown so vast
My path now mine to steer
My reins tight in my grasp
