Back to the Page

It’s been awhile

I’ve kept the thoughts inside

Bouncing around in my head

They’re like daggers in my back

Holding me down

And keeping me under water

I drown

The blank page beckons me

It calls my name

Begs me to share

So I write

Whatever comes to mind

It spills out on the blank page

The words come together

The letters march across the page

Like ants across a yard

My mind is clear now

With everything out in the open

I never share

But somehow

It is better
