Expression: Reflection from the Inside
Inside, I am like a bottle, keeping things in.
Sadness, anger, hurt, and a couple of sins.
How can I unleash what is hiding?
To erase the pain I feel, the pain that's fighting?
I pull out my notebook and my pen,
And I look deep within.
I start to write, it is like the key,
Opening the door to set me free.
The ink dances, painting a creation of raw humanity.
The emotions inside rain down, filling up the paper like a sea.
What has poetry taught me?
To let everything out, so that I can be at peace.
