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
