Cooking
Combining flavors and spices
The sizzling of the pan
The boiling of the water
Music in the kitchen

Cooking
The smell of the food
The preparation
The sound of chopping
A wonderful time in the house

Cooking
Peace
Peace with yourself
The peace and joy of creating
Creating meals
Creating joy

Cooking
The love of food
The joy of food
The comfort of food

She speaks
Though without words
Her expression says it all

She speaks
Though without words
Her hands do the talking for her

Why was she born this way
Mute
Meek
Without a word to say

The world shuns her
turns her away
All because of what she can not say

Is there not someone with a loving heart
Is there not someone who cares
Or will they all just stop and stare
At this woman without a voice

She wants to speak
She wants to convey how she feels
She wants to love
As well as be loved
Instead of seen as a voiceless freak

She cries when no one is watching
For to let the world see her cry
Would be letting the world win
That she can not let happen

She is strong
Despite the pain
She carries on

She feels no shame
She was just born this way
She prays for those who mock her
Hoping they see the light some day

I Want

I want to hold your hand
To let you know I care
That I am and always will be there

I want to hug you
So you know my love is true
To squeeze away all fear and doubt
To let all the sadness out

I want to wipe away your tears
Give you a shoulder to cry on
Just to hold you near

I want to listen to your hopes and dreams
To build a future together
No matter how impossible it seems

When you are having a bad day
Please don't go away
Talk to me
Let me know
I want you help you carry on

I want to share with you my love
My heart and soul
To show you it's true
I really do love you

How many times
Have I thought about killing myself
How many times
Have I thought about ending it all
How many times
Has that dark angel visited me

Time and time again
The anguish
The pain
The utter emptiness
That is life
Has almost shattered me

My tears fall
Like acid rain
Tearing me apart
Ripping me to shreds

— The End —
