speeches
write the notes
practice, practice, practice
look in the mirror
and rehearse
rehearse until you're
sick of the subject
take a deep breath
inhale, hold, exhale
walk to the front of the class
look at your notes
look at the audience
breathe
begin
elegantly perform your speech
just like you practiced
the eloquent words
flowing off your tongue
end your presentation
and sit at your desk
take a deep breathe
calm your racing heart
be proud of yourself
why?
because you faced your fears
and you did it!
you got this!

how do I say goodbye
to my childhood
to a free roof over my head
to free food
to free everything
how do I say hello
to my new life
to adulthood
to paying for everything
to being even more independent
how do I transition from childhood
to adulthood
it seems terrifying
and exhilarating

Fear,
it's like a giant wall,
A wall you cannot pass.
On the other side of that wall
are your dreams.
But you have to find a way to the other side.
Face your fears, find your dreams.

Closing your eyes
While feeling your skin burn
You've come to despise
The lessons you can't learn
Silently sinking
Through an infinite space
Closing your eyes
As you come face to face
With the water that drowns you
Seeps through your hair
Open your eyes
And you breathe it like air

the pain of holding back the flood.
only one way out and it's through.
face it. be strong, it won't take you.
feel it, become it, trust that madness.
revel in it's starkness, it's truth. it's own reality.
because when you come out the other side,
you may be bruised,
bloodied,
there will be parts, even, missing.
but you will survive improved,
intact,
lovable and beautiful.
