Shouting from the Rooftop

I wasn’t going to, but I am, there’s no turning back now
The wall that was built has been knocked down, crumbled, decimated in pieces
The obstacles have been taken away, the guard no longer stands at the front gate
The day is clear, the clouds move along to let the sun shine through
And I am standing here in my glory, something you have never seen before
But I’ll let you in, to know me, to know all about me, my faults, my greatness, my weaknesses
I have nothing more to hide as I walk thru the door and tell it to you straight
I am no longer shy, not even silence can shut me up now, I have nothing to fear
Because I, like you are afraid, afraid to let it go, to let everyone know, but not today
Today I shout it from the rooftops, bearing my soul to you and to nature that surrounds me
I’ll shout it loud enough for you to hear and only you to hear
I move closer to the edge, outstretch my arms and await the perfect breeze as a breathe in and count to three
The spark is still there – it never left, and I, although fear for my sanity right now, am letting it fly
One
Two
Three
I like you.
