On Writing and Feeling...

Sometimes it's hard to say
exactly how I feel
all of these emotions
I just cannot reveal

Sometimes it's hard to find the words
even though my heart longs to speak
all these feelings bottled up
inside my heart I keep

But when I take my pen in hand
the words just seem to flow
all of my feelings and emotions
on paper now they show

Everything I couldn't say
I can now reveal in ink
my heart is now an open book
my sadness becomes extinct
