Putting pen to paper

The only way to savor

This feeling

To hold on to this dream

 

Fingers stained with ink

Makeup smeared

With tears

Heart broke

Well not whole

As I sit and long for home

 

Tired of waiting for mountains to move

Waiting for clouds to shift

Waiting for something other than this shit

 

Putting pen to paper

Because I’ll look crazy

In the bar

If I just scream

But I’m sure the patrons

Can clearly see in busting at the seams

 

Filled with anger, hope and fear

Praying daily for a way out of  here

Basically begging but feel think my requests

Just hit deaf ears

 

Slamming pen into paper

Paper rips

Not strong enough to handle this

Contain My rage

But I am

This time is temporary

This life is not my cage

 

I am free

Meant to fly

Meant to soar

Show this world I am so much more

 

More than your ideas

For my delicate frame

I plan to leave a legacy behind

You’ll remember my name
