The words that pour from inside my head,
Are free here, releasing the dread.

No longer banging on my brain;
No longer driving me insane.

The expression that this poetry brings,
Lightens my heart, gives it wings.

My precious out-pouring of my soul,
Begins patching up the emotional holes.

For all who lack the time of day,
These words I write supply their say.

The world around inspires me,
Opens my eyes, and makes me see.

When I find myself without a choice,
These words I write give me a voice.
