Words - A Poem
I always knew I had them in me The words They would tumble through my mind With a force, an insistence that I let them out. And yet, I kept them hidden Fear that they would mean nothing, ill chosen Inarticulate My fear kept me silent. Until the fear became my inarticulation And it was ‘speak’ Or be crushed by a life of ‘What If?’ And the words became my hope, my joy, my belief The words now form peaceful rivers in my mind Giving voice to joys long forgotten And I am free
