say it until it's yours

From Tom White’s piece Everything Has Been Said (But Not By You)

Because truth doesn’t live on the page.
IIt lives in the speaking.
IIn the wrestling.
IIn the failing and the finding your way back.

It dies in repetition without revelation,
iin articulation without authenticity.

Anyone can carry a tune.
Only you can give it meaning.

So say it again.
Say it like you mean it.
Say it until it’s yours.
