Power of the Pen

What if you chose to be strong

And emphasized all that was wrong?

The emptiness within you,

And the walls crashing down

Inside your thick skull,

And the sickness derived

From the love you’re deprived of,

And the laughter that has ceased to burst

For a very long time...

What if you expressed your pain,

That solitude which consumes you,

And you told someone about that sharp, icy feeling

Of being alone?

And what if you found

That you weren’t?

What if someone reached out to embrace you,

And brought a smile to your cracked lips,

Or maybe true love to invade

Your heart?

What if you were healed,

And the walls were built back up in your mind,

And you felt fulfilled?

Yes, what if you crafted a verse,

That cured your everlasting, painful curse?

I promise you,

If you do,

You will once again be filled with might.

So what if you chose to write?
