It is bravado and bluster!
It is all a big show.
Done with verve and with daring
So that no one will know

Know that inside she cowers,
She shakes and she cries.
No one can know that;
Nor how hard she tries.

So she struts and she swaggers,
Laughs and jokes with a smile
Hiding tremors and quivers
Inside all the while.

Almost lost in the bluster
A wise voice that gets shushed
The small voice that still whispers
"You must learn to trust."
