Do Not Deny

When given 
a talent, why hide it?
Why stay in the darkness,
while the light  is strong outside?
Do you have shame or do you not believe
in that which was given to you freely?
Well, it’s up to you, if you
 want the ring, grab it! If 
you want the light, stand
 before  it. If you want to
 sing get a microphone and 
let the world hear you. If 
you want to write, write 
with your heart, spell 
check with your mind, 
but let people read that 
which you have seen,
been a part of or yet
 dream of. Do not be a 
mushroom unto yourself.
