Don't Be Afraid

Right now I am working on not being afraid to be who I am. I am trying to not be afraid of singing the song of my heart.

The song of my heart
is not flashy and loud
    not fast paced with streamers
    nor puffed up and proud.

The song of my heart
is now softer and deep
    as my heart picks up notes
    that ring true and sweet.

The song of my heart
is changing with time,
     here with a ripple,
     a ring and a chime.

But the song of my heart
will never be heard,
   if I don't have the courage
   to sing like the birds.
