More afraid of not flying than of falling,
More afraid to jump right in than stalling,
More afraid to sit in silence than to speak up for myself,
More afraid to sit back & watch than to stand up for someone eles,
More afraid to close my mind than to open my eyes & see,
More afraid to close my mind than to let in diversity,
More afraid of not trying than of failing,
More afraid of slipping than hanging onto the railing,
More afraid to settle for less than to keep striving,
More afraid of not living than of dying!
