Journey

This has been a journey
to this place
standing here
face to face

No more protections behind
executive clothes
or
memos

Bare. Naked. Standing here
to recite my words
This has been a journey , for me
to this place

Dropping the image of what
i should be
to show who i am
allowing my words to flow
saying, speaking what is on my mind;
in my mind

What i feel
What i think
taking a stand on my beliefs

No longer worrying about being
politically correct, willing to speak
the truth

This has been a journey
to this place
This has been a journey which
brings me here
to
me
