To be heard
I write because I'm broken
I'm an imperfect human thing
I write to not be silenced
to speak about my pain
I write to get out
these emotions
that all eat
lurking like a demon
inside this heart that
beats
I write so I can smile
so I won't implode
I write so I can learn
to love
and, learn to let go
I write to make a difference
I write to make a mark
I write so there's a record
of what I carry in my heart
I write to touch a stranger
someone just like me
who is lost in silence
and drifting in the sea
