This is one of my first experiments with Spoken word poetry. It's called Bold. I know it's not perfect but i'm leaving it the way it is. I am the "unpolished vocalist". ;) I'll add the words of my spoken poem below the recording.

Bold

i call on you....
Getting to know you and accept you into me now
I may have quieted your strong tone for years and only let you out in little secret bits
The more i feel you, the more i feel whole again
I remember me now, what i was like as a child
I remember singing everywhere
laughing loudly
Bold
is not an aggression
It is impactful, passionate
Full and vibrant
It's not shy but it's never something it isn't
You mean no harm
I don't want to interrupt
I don't mean to ruffle any feathers
I just want to love you openly,
joyfully
be myself
I choose to speak honestly
kindly but without edit or hesitation
Bold
I let you take up space in my life again
you have secretly animated my body and voice while alone
but now it's time to open up and shed the false face of tied tongue and the demure defense
be strong
be what you have always truly been
authentic flow
with me
I'm not alone
To all the challenged lips and hearts
we have the taste of intense inside our delicate demeanor
Bold
reminding me of what liberation feels like
