Window of Words

Location

I  write

--because I feel

To their deaf ears, my audible pleas have no appeal.

I write

--because I need to see

It's easier to pen the words that my mouth won't speak.

I write

--because I am alone 

My family is around me and it's still an empty home.

I write

--because it alleviates the pain

It's the one thing that allows me to feel sane.

I write 

--because I am free

No one in the world can take my words from me.

I write

--because I am driven

The pen is in my hand and my heart is on a mission.

I write

--in hopes that you may find

Some piece of understanding or a window into my mind.
