And My Authentic Voice Set Me Free (Talk/Poem)

Today I'm sharing with you one of my poems from my book My Courageous Journey.

My name's Danielle Street.

I love to write and over the years when I felt the need to process my thoughts or feelings I found that writing and in particular poetry can be a really beautiful experience to express how you're feeling.

My poem is called and my authentic voice set me free.

I cannot unknow what I now know I cannot take back what I have or haven't said.

I have spoken my truth and peeled back layers to stretch my boundaries and find myself.

I have given freely and held space,

Witnessed in circle and in the mirror.

I am no longer who I was.

I have stepped into the essence of love embracing my shadow to reveal my light.

I am seen and heard.

My authentic voice set me free.

I would love to know how this poem made you feel and if you would like to hear more of my poetry.

Sending blessings to you and hoping that you find your authentic voice on your own courageous journey.

Namaste
