I only knew how To be a poet when I was sad or Feeling down So when the grey clouds Faded away revealing Sunlight and warmth I became silent I only knew how To write about Broken hearts and Broken promises So when promises Were kept and Band-aids helped heal I became silent I only knew how Pain stabbed And tears stained And thoughts cursed me So when happiness came I forgot what it felt like To feel love & joy I became silent I won't say I'm better Because I still have moments But I'm done being silent I'm not keeping this to myself

Silent
I only knew how To be a poet when I was sad or Feeling down So when the grey clouds Faded away revealing Sunlight and warmth I became silent I only knew how To write about Broken hearts and Broken promises So when promises Were kept and Band-aids helped heal I became silent I only knew how Pain stabbed And tears stained And thoughts cursed me So when happiness came I forgot what it felt like To feel love & joy I became silent I won't say I'm better Because I still have moments But I'm done being silent I'm not keeping this to myself
I've been gone a while so my apologies. Writers block ***** This isn't my best but the block is fading. So here's something.
