Life is full of so many emotions, thoughts, and actions

I let the good pass me by as it comes and goes

The bad is all I'm left with and I hold it in.

Poetry allows me to let the pain out, to let go of my anger

And maybe one day I'll be able to face others and tell them how I feel,

Maybe one day my writing will help me cope,

Maybe one day I'll be happy.

That is why I write, to no longer hide behind a smile, but to express how I truly feel.
