My voice so soft
I can barely hear myself speak
the words come at a whisper
my story is not being heard
I want to sing
but I am scared
what if I am not a good singer?
what if my words don't make sense?
I try to let out a note
but it cracks and is out of tune
will I ever get my song out?
will my voice ever be strong enough?
So I practice
I fine tune the song
I warm up my vocal cords
I learn to sing from masters
I am encouraged
my song is getting stronger
I am still fearful of the reaction
what if I find out I really can't sing?
The fear is overwhelming but
I step out onto the stage
and I realize
I don't need an audience
my song is my song
I belt it out
no longer worried
who hears it
