I am well read
My work is not
I would trade
My eyes
To be in others
I would offer
The words
To be mentioned
On anyone's tongue
The time will come
Surely my desperation
My passion
And my ability
Will grant me the validation
That has crippled me
To have been doing this for so long
To have hid it for years upon tears
To now place myself on the stage
To find myself and to find the many
