With every
step I take
I risk falling down
and with every word I speak
I risk stuttering.
But I still walk
and I am not mute
I risk it all every day
Sometimes taking the fall.
But I do it because it's worth it
Its worth the frequent failure
Because although what I may say
isn't exactly groundbreaking.
It needs to be said
it needs to be heard
by someone with a hard heart
or even a broken one.
I need to say it
more than it needs to be heard
because of some off chance
that it changes something.
That it means more to someone else
that they see the real meaning
in my useless chatter
that they get what they need.
Its not that I feel important
its just that once someone spoke
and what I heard changed my life
event hough they didn't realize it.
They just spoke and later
when I went to thank him
he didn't remember a thing
neither did anybody else there.
But I remember it word for word
he said 'a heart of stone doesn't break,
but it can't be moved either'
and the conversation died.
It left me thinking
and suddenly I understood
but he didn't
he was just thinking out loud.
And now I remember it
and it changed me
And now I speak
hoping to do the same.
Maybe I never will
but there's a chance
and its worth risking my pride
worth the noise.
