I want to be able to write.
God, give me words.
But they won't come out;
I can't spill my tears,
my emotions onto paper,
Even though my eyes
Are burning
And my thoughts are pushing
And the barriers in my mind.

It's not who you are or who you know,

What you wear or where you go.

It's not your friends or family,

Its words on a page,

In this community.

The words we use can settle scores

or open doors.

So hear a heartfelt plea from me,

Let's stop the wars and do poetry.
