My heart is heavy
though my world is filled with light
my eyes are full of tears
And it’s because I’ve closed my mouth
too many times
But all the words are about to tumble out
Maybe this is why I’m a poet
I’m trying to speak
while still being secret
I’m trying to be known
without tearing down walls in my life
I’m trying to be free
without really being free
All that is changing
I’m finally using my wings
