Holding Back Poem by Audrey Heller

Don't try to hold back, the
laughter or the tears, for
all of us at times, have
irrational fears! We worry
about, what may never
take place, but still, there's
always a doubt. If it remains
too quiet, we'll find, something
to worry about. I guess, that's
the way, of human nature, we're
always afraid, of what lies ahead.
We're much better off, if we take
it one step at a time, instead! Go
along with your feelings, if you
want to laugh, shed a couple of
tears. Don't you think it's a much
simpler way, than bottling it up,
for years?
