Always

Always
Jonella Allen

It has come to my attention that when I read
out loud I read too fast. This is due
completely to a life long fear of standing in
front of a group of people and speaking.
Worse is reading my own words, my own
thoughts, my own deep seeded terrors, my
own triumphs, both large and small. It is a
fear will never leave. It is one of my
true constants. It is an everlasting North Star.
