If You Don’t Tell Your Story

If you
Don’t tell
Your story

Someone

Else
Will

And try

As they might

They just
Won’t get
It right

And the world

Won’t know
The subtle
Nuances
That make
The story
Yours

And the world
Won’t hear
The shake
In your voice
That gives direct
Line of site
To your heart

So gather up

Your courage

And give voice

To your life

And tell

The story
That is yours
