Speak My Mind (by mrb89)
I would rather finish it
And have my say,
Than walk away
Never having put my foot down.
Maybe I can come off
A little crass,
And maybe I cross a line
Or two….
But I spent a long,
Long time…
Some might even say,
Most of my life…
Never speaking my mind.
Too afraid to stand up,
For myself.
Always feeling to small,
To insignificant,
Nothing more than a silly
Little child.
So now sometimes,
I go a little overboard.
Most people don’t know
My back story,
And never will.
So when I say what’s on my mind:
It means
I screwed up my courage,
Sucked in my breathe,
Closed my eyes
And let it out.
It means
I am facing my fears,
My demons,
And letting go of my past.
I can screw up,
And I can be wrong.
I can live with that,
What I can’t live with,
Is ever feeling so helpless
That I can’t say my mind,
Not ever again.

@bigmomma19: awe thanks :) words are both my passion and my pain, they keep me up long into the night slaving to get a prose just right, and they fail me when I am stuck... I am a (former) English major, and a future author :P lol
