I Want To Live Out Loud

by Soyini Liburd



I want to live out loud.
Take my dreams
Make them true.
I want my soul to speak to you,
dancing to the rhythm that my emotions beat out.
Listen.
Let my love comfort you
Let my anger tell you
Let my hurt rebuke you.

It's so strong
This desire to live out loud
Live out life.
Compelling.
I look into the future;
where I see the person
I must be.
I must
be.

I will live out loud.
But I won't nag, won't whine...
Without saying a word
I will make you hear me.
Hear me.
You can't escape the sound
of my feet
along the path
I alone have chosen
for myself to follow.

I am empowered
I will be
Can't you see?
Can't you hear
The power in me?
I will harness it.
I will be
ANYTHING - EVERYTHING
WOMAN.

Can't you hear my dreams?
They scream out so loud.
Telling me what I'm going to be
That you ain't gonna stop me
see
I WILL LIVE
OUT LOUD.
