Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Thanks for taking time to read 
The stories which reside in me.
Poetry provides a stage 
Where fact and fiction dance and play.
Light is gorgeous,
Darkness, too,
As are color’s vivid hues.
I often write in crimson red
To exorcise thoughts in my head; 
I feel exposed but still I share, 
Craft my phrases with great care.

The words are often birthed in tears, 
Unveiling, hurting, rousing fear.
Coughed up razors make me bleed,
But once released, I feel so free.
