Because I faced my fear
I was rewarded with fortune.
Normally, I’d hesitate or pass completely
with what I could see so far.
But cautionsly, anxiously, I
investigated.
Oh! Why didn’t you say so
in the first place?
You completly misrepresented
yourself, in the hopes I’d
like you anyway.
Well, when I looked, your
insides revealed attractiveness
beyond measure–at least
beyond my expectations–
which were very hesitant…
So, I took what was behind the
curtain and hit the jackpot.
Fears are a heavy burden to
carry around all through
life. They may keep us from
many wonderful experiences.
