S.P.I.T

Instead of silently using paper and pen 
       in a tight notebook that no one can see
          I am forced to challenge myself
            Expose my gifts
            Remove the bandage
            and Just S.P.I.T
           Spit life
           Spit freedom
            Spit everything I need 
                 or want 
                  Saying it loud and proud
                   I am figuring myself out
                        Losing insecurities 
                        in the process 
                          Swimming closer to shore
                          in a sea of doubt
                            I am not alone
                            as it may seem at first
                             But by the end of the S.P.I.T
                                with the smiles and encouragements 
                                     I lose boundries 
                                      I am free 
                                     This is a new area for me 
                                   that before I couldn't see 
                                       I learned to S.P.I.T
                                           Through the gossip 
                                               S.P.I.T through the fear
                                            S.P.I.T until the very last 
                                                  ounce of doubt disappears
                                                 I S.P.I.T cause I'm here 
                                                   I want to vocalize  
                                                     this burning passion
                                                          So I S.P.I.T
