There is nothing more important
Than sharing yourself with others
Even if their reaction isn’t what you were looking for,
If you wanted more or are left feeling sour, sore
With a rage in your core
Because you needed that cage of You
Poured out and explored
And pawed over,
Crawled through and only scored
A small applause and pat on the back
But all that is just the tiniest piece of the pack
Because the fact you opened up, and cracked the case wide open
Is what matters
Their opinions may lack what you were hoping for
But now you’re not holding onto damage, like before
You’re free and you’re emptying your vessel
This has nothing to do with the ears that caught it
It’s all about this spilling out
Of the wrestling words that you pout about constantly
Hiding the inside from friends and family
Now finally being able to say
“Please stand with me”
Like you stand by them
Whether it be a sports game, your singing voice or your poetry
Your exam mark, your gardening, your art
Your makeup skills, the thing you’ve filmed, your science project
The dress you stitched, the bad habit you ditched, your fresh start
Your perfect blood sugars, your clear skin, your yoga pose
Your Instagram post, your new job, your new hope
Your book being published, your petals that have flourished
Or a new love
Your therapy sessions, your healed wound, your favourite song
Your booked gig, your step count or a new mate
You getting on stage, writing a play
Or the fish that caught your bate
Your high score on your favourite game, you getting out of bed for the first time in days
Changing the bin bag and taking a breath before washing your hands
No matter what, here’s the stage now take your stand
The world needs to hear your victories and future ones you have planned
Censorship and hiding is over, the slave self is falling
And if you’ve got a talent to share, then get it out there
And stop stalling…
