And when I tell anyone
I pulled through my lowest by inking everyday.
I can almost see them wondering how did words change my ways.
And when I tell anyone I found myself whilst inking
thoughts I know it's isn't easy to comprehend
how a few words led to my breakthrough moment.
Every verse touched an unknown wound.
I hadn't imagined words had the power to alter my reality my ground.
But slowly one verse at a time
I felt the strength of letting go.
Until the day the weight of holding on left my door.
I began to befriend a freedom I'd never felt before.
And I know it's difficult to believe how words can change
someone for real?
But it's possible and I'm sure I'm not first one to reveal.
There were times when I felt I was losing myself without
understanding my why or how
I needed an escape
A space where I am no one but me
Until the day I realised the answer lay within me.
All I needed was a paper and pen to set me free.
The catharsis that followed has made me wonder just
how much courage instills in each of us if we
try to tap into own inner selves.
So the next time some one says
writing heals, I hope you'll know
what they mean.
