Strong Artist Heart Speak

Vulnerable in the truth
In words of honesty
Revealing pain and hope
Fear of judgement
Vigilant for this enemy
So easy to retract
Recoil at just one dubious glance
Rewind the verbal sharing
That took such courage
Doubt shouting “I told you so”
The ego joining in
But the sign of these new beginnings
The bravery to soldier on
Regardless of opinion
Despite what the mind paints
Because the soul knows
The strength of your true artist
