My Words

by Raychil   Apr 20, 2006


I sit here at my computer
Writing, word after word
Hoping to write out my feelings
Wanting them free as a bird

I wonder, does it make me strange?
To write of my heart's aches
Does it make me an outcast?
To rhyme my stupid mistakes

No matter what seems to happen
I find myself back here
Writing out my sadness
Letting go of those hidden tears

If I let people see this
Will they think of me low?
If I release my words to the world
Will I be cast aside because I let go?

That risk, is something I can't take
I'm not ready for other's to see
For now, I'll stick to my paper
Pretending I am who they want me to be

    I know how this feels hun! I loved it! I feel the same way. I'd much rather have it on paper than to tell the world! This is all I ever do! I loved the poem darling!
