As I Light Up The World Poem by Mark Heathcote

I'm heavy with doubt

like a clipped bird,

my wings don't climb,

when they frantically flap!



Oh I'm heavy with doubt

not like a woman but a girl

not like a vocal coach but in mime

hiding behind a lot of slap!



waiting to be so much more

I'm a sleekly, sleek, thin geek!

I'm that ugly duckling...

wobbling in high heals and fishnets


looking for my rich sheikh!

soon to be a swan

soon to be a princes a queen

waiting to be so much more



But oh I'm heavy with doubt

but oh I'm ready to tip over a star

like a saucer of milk

just for me!



and then all my doubt will be put in darkness...

as I Light up the world

as I Light up the world

as I Light up the world!
