Glossophobia
Glossophobia -> A fear of Public Speaking.
It's Unavoidable,
Espically when you put yourself in that situatoin.
I thought I could walk on a stage and talk about my black pride.
I wanted my voice to be heard, I wanted to stand out.
But now I feel that I have over-stepped my line.
Who would want to know about my culture?
When Its been oppressed by time.
Histroy has illrasted to me that I have no place to thrive.
My parents forgot to tell that my melanin can not be replaced.
My heart is pounding under you blank eyes.
Are you expecting my to fail or entertain you?
No, I know now that I can't turn back.
I am good enough.
I realize my voice is just as powerful, I am enough.
Compare me to you will criple me more, I am enough.
I will open my mouth the words will speak for themselves, I am good enough.
