All these thoughts I jot down

Don’t make it past their first line

Because no matter how hard I focus

There’s too much on my mind

I’m working hard, that hasn’t stopped

& there are still thoughts appearing

But it’s as if these words are blocked

& no matter how much I try, the right words are not nearing

You see, without you reading, I write for half a purpose

To unleash what I’ve been feeling, obviously

But more importantly, to not feel voiceless

You give me my freedom to speak—the power of speech through word choices

Thank you.
