A one-line poem based on Georgia’s prompt.

Don’t be afraid to fail,
Overcome the urge to quit,
‘Cause if you don’t try to succeed,
You’ll never fly one bit!

I have fought this phobia so many times, and still am trying, honestly. I know that if I don’t succeed this time — however — I will know I worked my butt off trying. (speaking of finishing the transcription course that will allow me to start working from home as a paid transcriptionist.)

Thanks to Kathy and Harper and the whole Chalkboard team for keeping this publication alive and soaring!
