The girl with a speech


My breathing’s hard. I think everybody can hear it. Terrible. Why? Why can’t I force myself to do it?
               I tighten my grip.  A brief outline of my face is seen in the metal doorknob. I’m red. Oh god. Did I come all this way just to freak out and run away?
                  “The only method for getting far is never, ever giving up”
                  No. I can’t do this. I should just go home.
                  “What defines failure? You fail if you stop trying.”
