The Truth Is...

I wanted to write

I wanted my words to have meaning

To have depth and soul

To have strength,

To help someone overcome

Tragedy, pain, anguish

Like I overcame so many things

In my life

I wanted my words to have power

The power to touch

A heart

A soul

To heal

I wanted my words to change the world

I wanted them to bring forth change

I wanted my words to help someone

I wanted them to help me..

Live

Go on

Like this life was worth something

I just wanted to write

Every since I was  7 years old,

I took a hold of that pencil

And I just wanted to write

Writing was existing

Writing was living

Writing was being immortal

And I wanted to leave my mark

On this planet

I wanted to be remembered

That’s all

I wanted to have meaning

That’s all

I just wanted to be someone

I promise that’s all

You see, I just wanted to be seen

To be loved….

Yes, to be loved.

That’s all. I promise.
