Are you a Newbie?

 

Are you a newbie?

(A lone voice whispers)

Have you transitioned from silence or hesitation towards bold, authentic, courageous communication?

After you realized language isn't just a tool for casual conversations, but a beautiful divine means of self-expression, while one undergoes some spiritual rehabilitation?

Are you or have you felt like a Newbie?

Someone who was once walking through the complex strands of intricate language by the Alphabet Sea

And found the courage to express themselves for others and them to see, while reducing their soul's baggage 

Risking all to talk raw, in front of all, and stand tall

As you found your old self slowly retreating as your new more confident self, started communicating 

And now, with reflection, you sometimes wonder

How could I have ever lived that awkward life of always sitting watching other rebels, on the author or poetry shelf, write?

While keeping myself, to myself, in the middle of any given night?
