Stand

When you get tired
Of feeling small
Stand up

Your knees may shake
Your breath may catch
Trust
In that moment
That your feet will carry you
And your heart will guide you
And the sea will part for you

When you get tired
Of feeling small
Take up space

Your voice may crack
Your shoulders tremble
Trust
In that moment
That your words will carry
And your song will be sun
And your presence magnified

When you get tired
Of bruising your knees
Rise up

Your heart may flutter
Your eyes fill with tears
Trust
In that moment
That your scars will fade
And your pain will dull
And the sun will rise again
