"the next time 
you refuse to sing
because you’ll never 
fill a stadium
or decline the joy of dance
for fear of looking
ridiculous
or you resist risking
the new adventure
because you’re 
not entirely ready or
you dim your shine
because you’re not
completely healed and whole

the next time
you hold yourself suspect 
because you’re not
entirely qualified

just remember

a bird doesn’t sing 
because it’s talented
a bird sings because 
it has a song

the moon doesn’t only shine
when it’s whole
it can show up with 
a single sliver of itself
and still light an entire
night sky

show up. sing. shine.
the world needs you
as you are."
