TITLE: Out loud
AUTHOR: Bio
CATEGORY: Reflective
DATE SUBMITTED: 4/7/2009
RATING:


If I wait for the cloud to pass will the darkness go away?

If I hold my breath will all the bad disappear?

All the questions and the fear mixing in the moments of decisions

Life will not wait for an answer

It moves on and through the moments with or with out our permission

And we are either a leader of the moments or caught in the panic of the masses

Living inside our heads where only we have the answers

No real risk, because I agree with me.

Or do we live out loud with all the confusion and discomfort of knowing

We may not have the answer and we may be flawed in our judgment.

And we may just become more than we ever hoped we would be

Because we

Dared to love and live out loud.
