She sank into despair and actually became so fearful that she would not leave her home. Nothing could persuade her to face the outside world.After five years of living in constant fear, she began expressing her feelings in poetry when she could not express them verbally. The more she wrote, the less fearful she became. Chelsea is now facing the world head on. Her fears no longer control who she is.She hopes her journey through fear will encourage and touch those who read it.May you face your own journey with the courage and strength Chelsea has found along the way.
