I am not bold

I am not bold,

to be completely sold,

the idea of taking risks,

have never worked,

inside my mind.


I have been told,

of too rigid an outlook,

that seldom welcomes,

newer ideas & perspectives. 


I tried to break the mold,

to avoid labeled being cold,

still, couldn't compromise, 

on values that I uphold...(dear)


Then again, I chose to withhold,

reasons that put me in the spot,

burdened with shame & concerned,

having fear of higher expectations. 


I have always admired,

who could express freely,

unconcerned of scrutiny or ridicule,

capturing, attention of the audiences.


I am not bold,

being happy in the backgrounds,

still, take the lead, when needed,

for ones, who means my whole world.


May be, someday I will be bold!
