wish I could

I wish I could stand on
tables and boldly shout 
that I am, and will be 
powerful, and yet my
legs always fail at the
thought at an upward step...

I dream I could speak
the language of my
truth with no fear of
consequence, but my
breath just vanishes...

I imagine
the cages in
which I am now
imprisoned (and

I know they
are not, but
they do feel

like they
are my

home)

    it is scary how i can 100% relate to you. i often want to step up and say things that mean so much to me but cannot. i love this poem...the power, the truth written here. it amazes me and although i know i could go on and on about how brilliant this is i will sum it up with one word: beautiful. kristina,15
