Voices in the dark

I am alone on a stage
people watching, waiting
a spotlight illuminates me
I wait, then...

My voice comes out strong and powerful
singing from my heart
sharing my experiences
and suddenly
I'm not alone.

All my people surround me
our voices strong and clear
making people aware 
of injustice,
sadness,
beauty.

    I feel like this is only the beginning of this piece. It starts quiet and builds. I could totally imagine you performing this on stage, letting your voice get louder and stronger as you go on. I feel like it would be powerful to end this with a call to action--asking others to join in and lend their voices. Thanks for sharing!
