The messages are there.

On the brink

Of tipping

Tip of my tongue

Tongue in my cheek

Where I feel strong,

Is where I also feel weak. 

Thoughts flowing,

Words forming.

Almost tangible,

But only crystallizing, 

When the time is right,

Right now,

Is it the time?

For my truth to spill,

Like oil on the sea,

Vast and open,

Unconfined,

See me.

I fear to paralyze you if you do.

With my words.

And thoughts,

Cause I wasn’t ready for them either. 

But there’s that point, 

Coming near,

Oh it's here.

Like climate change,

Undeniable,

No longer to be contained,

The dam crashes down,

And it all flows out,

Life, death, and everything in between.

The energy giving and crushing all the same.

Crashing over me.

Us.

The time is now.

Now we speak, 

The words amplifying out.

They’re not whispers sister;

They are warrior cries.

So let’s cry out.
