If I was as brave
if I would dare
I would scare
the whole damn world.

The author's comments:
being shy sometimes stops us from doing great things because we are afraid of the consequences. But the reward might be worth it, worth it all.

I also love the simplicity, but not purely because it's simple, I love it because it's simple but you still communicated what you wanted to. Good job!
