Book preview

I communicate through words

Articulate my thoughts and emotions

Through a stanza or a sentence

Using symbols to represent

The problems I’m too scared to face

Wielding metaphors and similes

As weapons in my arsenal of communication

If I cannot speak freely

Then I will write

And I will make them understand

Exactly how I feel

With the touch of pen to paper

Connecting my jumbled thoughts

Into cohesive phrases

That I will use perfectly

To show you exactly

Who and what I am

What I crave

Is to carve my face into the memories of those around me

And mark my place in this world

I long to make a difference

And I am just dumb enough to try

With a bit of pain and a few words

I will try to reach a generation

And light a fire in their hearts that will burn down the world

They say the impossible is the interesting

So I will test that theory

On a mission to belong

No, not belong

To stand out among the crowd

To say the words others are too afraid to say

And to matter to this world

Being alone

In a world full of people

Fading in and out of life

Existence has no true meaning

If you do not feel as though you exist

Hushed words

That are a thousand miles away

Going insane

Trapped inside a frame

There is nowhere left to turn

No place
