Or sense of fear

Which force my poems

Causing tears and pain

And rejection to commence

 

These are the thoughts

Which I cannot relieve

If only one person

In me, would believe

 

I could open my wings

Learn how to fly

Show who I am

Let others inside

Boldly I'll try

'til then I will write
