Watch me.

Watch me
as I reach to touch
The stars that could be mine.
Watch me
as I sail past the moon
and smile bigger than I believe.
Watch me
my hair whips through the wind
when I run from the truth
Watch me
I catch my breath
and hold my tongue.
Watch me
I'm afraid of chances
but tonight I'll take one.
Watch me
as I learn to recall
the memories I've formerly erased
Watch me
I'm curious.
And I'm ready to run.
Watch me.
I might fall,
I might trip.
But Watch me.
Not because I'm arrogant
and not because I'm talented
Just watch me
Because I want you to.
