I go talk am for di room, with my own voice

I tok am, and di room take am serious. No be because I shout and no be because I sharp, na because I tok di true tin clear clear and come close my mout. My voice sound like my own voice. I go do am again, and I go do am again afta dat, sotay e stop to feel like sometin wey I gats prepare body for. Dis na skill. Na character wey dem no give me, na so I bin dey treat am.

Person write sometin down. Dat half second of silence dey wey dem dey really consider idea, no be say dem dey politely wait make di tok finish, and once person don hear di two, dem no sound alike at all. I notice say my hand quiet, e just dey rest for di table, e no dey do any nervous tin wit pen. Person wey face me dey nod slow slow, and na wetin pipo dey do wen dem dey catch up wit tok, no be say dem gree.

I don sidon for whole meeting wit di sentence complete inside my mout and come let am go. Afta, I go dey replay am for road as I dey waka go house, and I go hear mysef deliver am perfect, and dat one get im own kain pain. Wetin dey happen inside dat room no be confidence problem, and to treat am like confidence problem hold me for one place for years. I dey try to arrange di sentence and to brave up for di same moment, and dem two na two different work wey dey fight for di same few seconds of attention. One must lose, and na di same one dey always lose. Courage neva finish for my body. Na preparation dey short, and I waste years dey treat di second one like di first one.

So I stop to ask mysef make I do di two at once. I dey write di sentence down before I enter. One sentence. If e dey paper, e mean say di arranging don finish, na only to tok am remain, and to tok am neva be di hard part at all. Most of wetin I bin dey call fear na load for brain wey wear costume. Comot di load, wetin remain small reach make person waka pass am one time, and na dat small tin I spend years dey call character flaw. Preparation no be cheating. Na di only method wey I sabi wey dey work make person still sound like imsef wen pressure dey.

So before di next meeting, I go write my sentence down. Na di one wey I want make dem hear pass, di one wey go dey vex me for road as I dey go house. Den inside di room, di moment wey e near di topic small, na dat one I go tok. To read am from di paper allowed. Since rooms dey exist, dem neva remove mark from person because e prepare, and half of di pipo wey dey inside dey pray make somebody else go first.

Di sentence fine, and e dey always fine. Na only one tin change: dis time e comot di room wit me, e no enter my pocket go house. Na dat be di whole distance between person wey get idea and person wey im idea dey count. Make I tok di sentence.
