Poetree

I want to write my lonely words,
The words that I could never speak,
I hope they will not go unheard,
And that you'll find them quite unique.

I want to write my teenage mind,
To make sure that I stay awake,
I do not know what I will find,
What I will do, what I will make.

I want to write my hopeless dreams,
So that you see and that you know,
And that you understand the theme:
I want to live, I want to grow.

I want to write my burning soul,
I write so much, no time to read,
I fight my poems for control,
I know my words will soon be freed.

This is the time for me to write,
So I can catch that flaming spark,
That flares up into brilliant light,
And leads us safely through the dark.
