When My Voice Trembled
I stood in a room full of people
and felt smaller than my own heartbeat.
My breath shook,
my hands shook,
my past shook inside me.
But I kept standing.
I carried every doubt,
every “you can’t,”
every “you shouldn’t,”
every moment I felt invisible.
And still —
I walked.
Not because I was fearless,
but because fear finally learned
it couldn’t stop me.
I am the girl who trembles
and still moves forward.
I am the girl who breaks
and still rebuilds.
I am the girl who was scared
and still showed up.
And that is enough.
That is everything.
