Writer's Block

Twenty six letters composing a phrase, Letters that have the power to break chains, Whether they exist in books or essays, Penetrate my heart, running through my veins. Twenty six letters creating our words My weapons of choice, a double edged sword Hoping that someday their voice will be heard Not hidden in darkness, alone, unheard. Twenty six letters forgiving our wrongs Misused, abused, forsaken as garbage Waiting in darkness for so very long Emerging, finally free from bondage. Meant to be cherished, these beautiful things Are now able to fly on newfound wings.
