Finding My Voice:

(Living My True Life)

Written and performed by Doreen Firestone

with Ann Zalkind at the piano

What do you do when you find yourself

in the middle

of Middle Age

and you still haven’t “Made It”?

And you realize the plan of success

you mapped out

with your ten-year-old mind

can’t play itself out in real time?

Yeah, when you’re terrified

of speaking your truth,

yet even more terrified

of dying lying,

and never having lived your truth?

Well, you write an autobiographical, theatrical, musical journey

of your quest

to your true greatness,

and you hope your plunge into vulnerability

inspires others to join

in this Great Adventure.

Come, climb aboard this roller coaster ride of self-discovery

to live your true life!
