Once Benumbed
I am not good at feeling.
Courage was never my strong suit.
Right now, I am working on healing.
People know me as the “mute”.
Writing has always been there for me.
It gives me this relief.
It is a dose of passion and therapy.
It’s where my brain and heart agree to meet.
Through my writing I reveal my soul.
But, no one has to know it’s me.
My true self can take control.
Within these verses, I can grow freely.
It’s art through simple expression.
Powerful, striking, influential composing.
My bottled emotions rely on this obsession.
It’s the one place I feel comfortable exposing.
It gives me my shape.
It is my revealing.
It is my escape.
It gives me feeling.
