I want to read the poem
and hear what you have to say,
But I'm afraid I can't read it
for it's what I face everyday.
I want to read the poem
because what you write is so real,
Yet at the same time it captures all the pain
I many times really feel.
I want to read the poem
because they touch upon my soul,
And make me feel somehow
at home this world I don't really know.
I want to read the poem
you capture every day,
For they bring energy to the things
I wish I had the nerve to say.
I want to read the poem
as it makes me feel alive,
In spite of all the things I feel
and how I want to run and hide.
I want to read the poem
because I relate to you,
The way you write the words
and positive impact it creates on my day.
I want to read the poem
and become fearless in all I do,
But I wonder if that's really possible
even when you tell me it is true.
