Truths and Discoveries


How could an amalgamation of words portray such emotion?

    Love, despair, hope, anger, relief, longing, joyful

Could I ever display such a vulnerable part of my soul?

Rip the words from the innermost part of me in order to connect with others?

No, I cannot, my tongue dries up and my fingers freeze with the highest degree of pain the moment I try

Should I even try?

Or is it worthless, every human experience on this earth already cataloged and displayed for the world to see and hear

But no, words are magical in that we can organize it in a million ways and we would still be left with a million more to illustrate what we feel 

    Relief, longing, peace

I am allowed to try, to toss my own hat in the ring with a disheartening feeling that no one will care for what I have to say

My words are still powerful

They will still touch the souls of the many and I will be victorious in my efforts

<p>Such realness. Sounds like poetry taught you realities of the world and even the language we use to describe ourselves at the deepest level. Profound.&nbsp;</p>
