When I Write...


When I write...

My thoughts can become beautiful

My words can become art

My ideas and inspiration can become legendary

My words will last forever

My words will matter

My mind can express itself and never hold back. 

 

When I write...

I can hold on to what I have

I can have a diary that doesn't feel obsolete later on

I can have an outlet for pain and joy

I can write the oddities my mind speaks

I can remember my dreams 

I can dream some more

 

When I write...

They have to listen

They have to feel

They will finally know, but 

They will not see my weaknesses whilst they do

They will be real 

They will have to change the world

 

I will have to change the world

 

My poetry will have to change the world. 

 

One poem at a time.

I can be Something.
