Resealing the Way Writing Works For Fate

when you reach out to teach lessons 
humble a crowd 
you have to be humbled by another 
prepared to humble yourself 
when you go through depression 
or poverty 
don't just write it down and throw those feelings 
share the journey with the masses 
and teach the less fortunate how they shine through tragedy 
deep inside ourselves we ask the same questions 

there comes a time when you find yourself 
 inside the light grows 
you can offer advice to traps 
 which you've been ensnared, 
writing is not a gift  
a tool 
to heal to protect 
prevent a longer nightmare 
for the gullible 
sick, hurt, and despaired, 
cast out your broken thoughts 
stitch them in time with hope, 
heal yourself with your own words 
no one else can 
don't abandon yourself. 

Answer what questions many have left in the dark 
don't be afraid to be your own answer 
because millions will feel you 
and millions are thirsty 
and this is where the healing starts 
don't be afraid to go back in your writings 
and answer  
and heal your own thoughts 
with inspiration metaphors dreams 
you are your own answer 
lullaby 
voice of reason  
touches upon thousands 
future human beings 

Deep inside 
feel it 
deep inside 
know 
you are gifted 
this is the truth you are told, 
some will make it down this road 
take my advice, 
some will make a difference 
in the dark side  
save tricked souls 
from  torturous minds 
some cave into religious dogmas 
 fall prey to demands 
 what they think people want to hear 
 the truth is 
the answer lies within each of us 
we are all a puzzle piece
