A U T H O R

a belief in yourself that allows you to write 
understandably brave, for all will not appreciate your words
taking a risk with every syllable for written is harsher than spoken 
hoping it will all work out, and you will connect with someone else 
outfielder catching fly balls, sometimes in the head 
risk is worth it in the end, for you are sharing your truth
