Giving someone the chance to enter your soul and for a brief moment understand exactly what you're feeling as well as what you're experiencing.
Being able to open up to all the personal drama one encounters, no matter how easy or hard it might be, you are in charge. In charge of your feelings, your life and what you write down.
It reminds me of those children diaries which we all once had, but this time we are not afraid. Not afraid to express ourselves through all the vulnerable words we write on paper. Not afraid that someone will find it and perhaps read it, no This time it is meant to be read, meant to be heard and mostly meant for someone to think about what is being said. It is meant to understand what is being said through the mind, the eyes, but mostly with ones heart.
The only way to open up, with the will of being able to say the words you might not be able to say. Feel the feelings you are unable to feel. And hear the responses you might not want to hear.
Be the voice of many. Poetry is a diary without a lock.
