Had a very interesting class today at our Writer's WORDshop about finding your VOICE-your authentic self then expressing it in some creative mode like art or writing. We took an existing poem then rewrote it using dialogue. Here's my revision:
Look, she's standing there
afraid to move, frozen in time.
Doesn't she know
what could lie ahead...
glorious vistas to discover
as well as challenging
trials to overcome.
Yet she sits silently
without motivation
fearful of failing...
stopped by not trying.
She may never find her voice.
Hidden deep inside covered
by layers of self doubt, waiting.
Courage, life awaits dear child.
Do not avoid it out of fear,
find and speak your truth.
