with time

you will become stronger with time.

    i stand, always, in the corner
    though the distant field's grass is ripe and inviting
    i know my place in this world, this town
    voices like mine should never be heard.

    i stand, mostly, on the sidelines
    though the roaring crowd is warm and accepting
    i know my position with people like these
    faces like mine should never be seen.

    i stand in front of the classroom
    though my hands were once shaking, cold and moist
    i know i am radiant, inside and out
    thoughts such as mine should always be known.

Strength finally gained through time and confidence. I like the way you showed someone's self esteem and shyness was overcome with a positive outcome. Nice one!
