Pep Talk To My Mouth by Fox Bailey

 

Alright mouth!

It’s time to get moving

Feel the tongue

Feel the cheeks

Really feel them


Get sensitive

Dash of patience

It’s a long game

Have realistic expectations

We might hate it at first


Then something starts to happen

Mouth, you start to make sounds

The sounds I want

Sounds magical I know

It makes hard work worth it


Don’t have the words to explain the feeling

Mouth, you got this!


- Fox Bailey
