Words

When someone reads the words I have written,

I want them to be touched like never before.

I desire for the words to transcend the page

and touch the very core of something they are inside.

To see something of themselves reflected

not in the surface of things but in the depths

where we truly live uninhibited,

but are afraid to reveal for fear of judgment

or simply being exposed for our weakness.

I want my words to ignite a rebirth in the spirit

causing one to boldly revisit things of the past

to be inspired presently and set on fire for the future.

This is what is in my heart, my words

without them I am empty and unidentified

and unable to go to all the forbidden places

without your permission.

I can enter into the most intimate exchange

and you will know that I am like you

and you, like everyone else that feel your feelings.

The only thing that allows me inside are my words

so it is imperative that they speak of truth

or I shall only face your rejection.
