Pieces of Poetry
Simple song lyrics paint the road to recovery...
To understanding
A rocky path, riddled with minor hardships
Who am I to elaborate on these things?
What gave me the idea that I,
A young, naive, yet stubborn child
Could challenge knowledge as we know it now?
Nothing but this, the tools I use to express even the
Most exotic and illusive of topics
Pieces of Poetry,
My own song lyrics that define anger, define sadness
The love and compassion that tugs at all of our souls
And for some reason, some unknown, unfathomable reason
I feel as if I am free
As if... in pieces of poetry I can find myself
That person... the confident, courageous woman
Pulled from juvenile ways and thrown forcefully into maturity...
I've always wanted to meet, to discover this side of myself
And in Pieces of Poetry my aspirations,
My dreams and impossible wishes seem only words away
This is why I write, why I create
Why I, though humble as ever, become god to the arches of every letter
Like the "S" sitting loyally at the beginning of my name
I create long strokes - like tallies vouching for me, for "I"
I've perfected my Pieces of Poetry
And I've created with them an inspirational world
Where words have the power to change lives
Where my favorite pen's figurative blood dictates choices
Life and death, beginnings and endings
But only in Pieces of Poetry
