Change its

Real and it’s coming at me full force

And I know I have to embrace it because I want it.

But resistance and fear are real, too, and they all want my attention.

I’m trying to stay afloat as I sail for my goals, and I’m trying to listen to the voice that says it’s time for you to stand up and stand out because you can’t afford to hide anymore.

For I’m needed, and even though some say to play it safe, that luxury was okay for the old me; the new me can’t stand it.

So here I am, trying to be on top, yet I feel like I’m standing behind a curtain, and they’re calling me on stage, but I can’t seem to come out.

But at the same time, I feel myself growing stronger with the need to go on that stage and say what I have to say from the heart.

But today isn’t that day, but maybe tomorrow or the next day. I know I will get up there soon enough.
