kept in the dark through a crack in the wall i’ve seen the ray of sun my heart longs to burst silenced forever my soul yearns to soar imprisoned since the beginning of time i write poetries because my words need a voice even in the void of silence launched into the universe my voice reverberates loud whether or not anyone cares to hear it i’ve said my bit my part is done my pen is the sword that defends my garden from the overgrown weeds out to smother what makes me unique I write poetries to no longer live in the shadows of silence i write poetries because i have something to say Read on air by invitation ~ April 7, 2021 'LATE NIGHT POETS' AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on August 30, 2022 for contest I WRITE BECAUSE sponsored by ANOUCHEKA GANGABISSOON - RANKED 5th on March 18, 2021 for contest IT ONLY SEEMS THAT WAY sponsored by KAI MICHAEL NEUMANN

I, too, write poetries "because I have something to say", even though many others (perhaps willingly?) seem to stumble and to misinterpret/misunderstand my message. You communicate yours as clearly as one would wish, but I'm sure you often experience the same thing. Kudos on your written and on your read poetry.

This is the truth " my pen is the sword that defends my garden from the overgrown weeds out to smother what makes me unique" and you are unique my friend. I will never forget who my first follower was; NEVER! And I thank you for it!
