My words like to wander, cross and diverge
At every corner of my mouth
Every turn my sentences take
So I might not make sense at first

But let me try
To hold your hand
Let us walk through the maze of who I am
The maze of words I've formed during those quiet days, the words that didn't know they were until now
They'll flow
onto
the page
In irregular
Halt-
ing
Heart-
beats
With a free rhyming scheme, free-verse, free as a bird
Yet weighed down by an illusory gown
Not to confuse
Not because I choose to be this way
So clandestine are my words, my identity
Despite the length of this journey
On a paved road
Hidden beneath the jumbled symbols and metaphors
That speak from my core

So just know that the moment you look at me from a different angle
What you thought you saw
May burst and shatter into a million colours
Gradually
Peacefully
The same way white light splits into a rainbow
That we can all admire
Even if we don't understand
We can watch, and see, and believe there's a certain beauty
To all forms of art
I hope
You can read my stories and take these words to heart.
