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.
