I sang in public yesterday
the music couldn’t keep spilling out
from my
heart
in the restaurant
in the restroom
down the main street
two strangers stopped me and said
“you have a great voice, please keep singing”
and I thought that was significant for the
first day
of the new year
Maybe this is the year I finally
share my voice.
I sang in the car on the ride home
and I was filled with ecstasy
I swear I had an orgasm after singing
Natalie Weiss’ version of “Only Hope”
tears spilled from the depths of my soul
and my boyfriend looked at me like I was
crazy
but I know what I felt.
I finally felt
free.
I
Let
Go.
