It's my turn
To take the mic
Giving voice to the bravery
Dwelling deep where my story lives
I don't like to feel
What's difficult
This standing here on stage before you
Is the beginning of being
Willing to feel
The fear of fear,
The anger of anger,
The doubt
Taking a stand for myself
I grow
Beyond
To touch the joy of joy
The truth of truth
And loving my voice
It is my turn
To be.
