I want to apologize to all the poems I never wrote down because the rawness was too much to bring into existence Some things are better left in the dark Away from others to hear Away from myself to see Yet I know theses denied truths will find their way back to me From the very depth of my unconscious What I will do with them I do not know Deny them light again, prophase But maybe—if I am strong enough by then I will brith them into life An take a breath of relief
