For a long time I had this need
This feeling to express my self in the
way I please.
To show the real me.
But things were holding me back.
The effects and reactions I'd get when
people heard me.
For just last night I discovered the
power that lay behind words.
The words I wanted to utter held power
beyond meaning.
Words with anger, love, and sorrow
From the pool of emotions deep within me.
Words that stung when they reach the tip of my tongue
Words that hurt and belittled every action I thought as 'fun'.
Words that soothed every single wound
Words that bleed and hurt like a needle about to plunge into my heart.
And words that simply did no harm at all
But entice the hatred others felt for me.
Because these words were different.
They lived deep inside me.
In the twisted sea of thoughts and dreams,
Beneath the depths of the words 'express'
Each and every time they came to mind
I felt like a balloon had popped deep inside
Because just like that, my body became ALIVE
The words flowed freely.
Hateful words, resentful words,
important words, and just plain stupid words
Words short and long, like 'the' and 'honey'
And just like that, everything changed for me.
My world turned upside down as I began
Seek refuge in the only things that never made me frown.
My words.
As you read along the pages of this story,
remember that each one came from my heart.
Let's start an endless journey and pray
For each of these letters holds
The Things I couldn't ever say.
