I can feel my eagerness wanting you to see, <br />This hidden ability that I call poetry. <br /> <br />No longer am I reluctant to hide this gift, <br />It’s like the old way of thinking just went adrift. <br /> <br />And I am treading new water to learn my way, <br />But, I will take in the lessons as I survey. <br /> <br />And apply them where needed to propel ahead, <br />So that I can keep expressing what’s in my head. <br /> <br />I have polished my gift without end, <br />To understand the things in Life most miscomprehend. <br /> <br />Plus, I can scalpel any emotion down to its core, <br />And put it on display as a form of décor. <br /> <br />Giving me the ability to show you how, <br />I can express what I think with the ultimate “WOW”. <br /> <br />I was cautious before to allow others to explore, <br />But here I come, I am silent no more. <br /> <br />So, out of the shadows and into the light, <br />I will keep my gift always in sight.<br /><br />Bryan Pegram<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stepping-into-the-light/
