There Was a Time
There was a time in my life when I cried and cried and cried.
Then one day I looked up and began to dry my eyes.
There was a time in my life when I complained and complained and
complained.
Then one day I realized it only caused me to remain.
There was a time in my life when I screamed, and screamed and screamed.
Then one day I heard myself and boy did I sound mean.
One day I got a revelation, and it has helped me to this day.
I don’t have to cry, complain, or scream for you to hear what I have to say.
I just need a pen and paper, and my computer too.
Now I can write, write and write for my words have a voice too.
And as I write these poems out, they speak to all of you.
First poem written in 2008.
