Letting It Out
drop pen to paper
the writing’s done
this masterpiece complete
the realization of your work
chills you head to feet
a thing you never thought you’d finish
sitting on your desk
waiting to be printed or
perhaps sent to the press.
writing can be difficult
no age or level required,
but if you take the time to think
you won’t be so tongue-tied.
I never thought my journaling
been at it three years now,
would help me so, down the road
depression, identity, and other heavy loads
released my fill to quill.
there’re many things that people do
to help relieve their minds
music, sports, drama, love
it all fixes what’s above
up in your head, it’s delicate
from good to bad, so fast
and if you let that badness grow,
well, a lot of people pass.
