a restless spirit that aches for change

bound by walls of indecision

caged by the barbed wires of doubt

a muffled voice whispers through fear of watchful eyes

an urge to resist and defy

the pen — a weapon — , I must draw blood from the page

and lead a paradigm shift in how I/we are seen

sacrificial in its calling, every atom of my existence must be laid bare.

a bird does not half fly, nor does a piranha half eat

they soar and devour respectively — they commit.

the fire inside once lukewarm, now rages. self destruction is near,

I must fear this more than public scrutiny

and so I, the man whose dreams lie within the pen

who longs for his words to cradle the lives of others and ignite the minds of many

write young g, write as if no one is reading

write as if its the last thing you’ll ever do

write as reflection, love and wholeness.

write your truth,

write for you.
