I'm here with a different vibes, with a different message lead to bookstore where I was working. That was when we have a poetry day where people came to share their own creativity and I was watching under the spotlight it's like the open mic seat where everyone can come out to read their work.
Most folk were just there and there were a lot of times to go first. The chair was edgy for some minutes and the host was about to start so they were asking for who is coming first that night but no one and I was like okay who wanted to go and start because of their anxiety.
They would cause all the leaders again to come forward and share their work and people keep glancing at the chair I see it was a special thing or a place of pressure or anxiety but it feels like a mountain to cross. Someone from the crowd whispered go on take the chair and leave.
And yes Leo was willing to go although he was still anxious he tried to hide this robot it wasn't so someone the courage to move and start on the chair and there was such an anxiety in him that he couldn't even read his work . his leg started shaking why the crowd keep clapping not even laughing that he couldn't even do his work Not because they know you, but because someone has finally had the courage to go and read his work.
His voice was not shaking at all, but as time goes on, it started getting stronger and the confidence started increasing. So Leo was the leader and the hero of that day.
It wasn't just about the poetry he read, but about owning his voice and wanting to be heard, even though there was pressure, he was willing to take the chair.
