My Strength in Words
Location
My emotions remained bottled
When the loss broke my heart
My one and only mother
Had went on above when I was just 16
My voice was quiet for a while
The pen and pad became my vocal chords,
Expressing the words that remained unsaid
I fell in love with the power of words
My words
Had a stronger meaning as others read
And grew amazed
At my words
These words.
These words helped me
Express myself when I wouldn’t let my voice
I took to the pen about three years ago and
It’s been my therapy since then
My mind raced constructing images of the words that floated,
Scattered in my brain
Once jumbled groups of letters
Combined to create this immaculate painting
Portraying the feelings of my heart.
I will let the past pain fuel my endeavors of my future
Thickening my armor along the way
Growing into the strong woman I know I am
like the one I was raised by.
