Fueling The Fire (To Liberate You) Poem by Dyhanara Rios

I was shocked but didn't mind
When you put me on the spot
I held my ground and delivered
Without a second thought

The voices screaming in my head
Deafen my ears with what I could've said
Sometimes, it's what we don't say
That matters at the end of the day

(That one moment) when
Each and every vein
Became a poisonous vine
And the muscles in my throat
Lost their strength, please note
That I was not feeling fine

Sadly, this happens to you all the time

Your inability to stand up and express
How you feel and what's askew
Fuels my fire to achieve success
In the show business and liberating you
