I've sat in
my room and recounted my thoughts
I've stared
blankly until the page distorts
I've always had
the confidence to talk in a crowd
But I've
never said these words out loud
I've
pondered over every detail
And slowly
watched my train derail
I've mumbled
curved with my head bowed
But I've
never said these words out loud
I've
research in part and read a little
Become a bit
scared and less committal
I'm discovering
the lining around my cloud
But I've
never said these words out loud
Words change
when they are externalised
The writer
becomes overly scrutinised
But I’ll take
the floor, become the lyrical dancer
And maybe I’ll
start to find an answer
I stepped outside
of my four walls
Become a man
and grown some balls
I've opened
my eyes & removed my shroud
And find myself
saying these words out loud
Those days
of sitting and soul exploring
Of unconscious
ambition ignoring
Have
consented and I am now allowed
To share and
say these words out loud
And so good
people, whoever you are
Will this be
my hello or my au revoir?
My fate has
been handed to my crowd
As now I'm saying
these words out loud
You came un-expectant
to this open mic
Shall I encore
or get on my bike
Either way,
I've done myself proud
As, at last I'm saying my words out loud
