Weapon

8 1 0
                                    

This paper and pen,
Is my weapon of choice,
Again and again,
I will save my unheard voice

I will write till I have no words left inside me,
I will write till everyone knows my truth,
I will write until my soul is set free,
I will write as I slowly lose my youth

My words sit inside of my heart,
Until I let them flow from my fingertips,
As I feel myself fall apart,
And no more whispers escape my lips

If I have my words and a sprinkle of soul,
Why do I need anything more?
It is my escape as I lose what little I can control,
It is my sword in this raging war
