If I could write ten thousand words

My soul would be at peace.

All the secrets inside my mind

Laid bare upon the page

Waiting for the reader

To soak them up like sun.

I imagine how I would inspire

Those who stumble on my words

In hopes of making someone feel

The emotions I wrote about.

If I could change one person’s view

Or have them understand my dream

Then my work would not go to waste.

Though I want to tell my story 

I just cannot find the words

I thought I should give up

But then I saw the page.
