Curtain call
Location
Many times I've pondered over my life's purpose
I've had many chances to be heard but none which I was ready for
Many times doors have opened but I stood back watching them close
I thought about rushing through them and how it would all be
If I could just yell what I thought
It might have turned into screams
Now I can see, years had to pass for my heart to open
I've had time to let it all soak in
The picture has become clear
My people are not exclusive
They speak different languages
Have different phenotypes
And they inhabit every continent
From sea to shining sea
I am them and they are me
I can see why those doors closed before in the past
Nothing that's worth waiting for will happen fast
I will be patient and not rush it at all
I will be ready for my curtain call
