I fear not of him anymore,
Without any tremor I speak.
Letting it all out to free myself
When I am quite asleep.

A new day comes with rising sun
Again I see my usual self
All the courage I had is gone
Not ready even to say No.

One day it will never be a dream.
Surely I'll have had enough.
One day these speeches I dream,
I will make them become true.

 

This is an instrument for writing and publishing great literary works.
