learning

when I found you

I remember feeling full of sadness

angry at myself, angry at her

voiceless

no one to listen, no one to care

you were an outlet

a way to say

what I kept bottled up in my heart

I found that I didn't need someone to listen

I didn't need someone to care

only myself

I just needed to see it

to visualize my emotions

and put them into words

today I look to you when I need a friend

you've taught me how to put my feelings into words

how to accept myself

how to change

I look through old poems and I can't believe I ever felt that way

As I read through the lines I relive those moments

I feel it in my stomach

poems have become a part of who I am

my journals a memory of how I've changed

almost a photo album of words

now when I feel I have no one

I know that all I need

is some paper and a pen.
