pen on paper
i let it go
flowing like a river
over rocks, to the dam
and eventually it breaks
pen on paper
i let it strike
lashing at the chains
holding down the girl
until she is free
pen on paper
i let it go
like a hurt bird
gaining flight back
for the first time
walking down that
pale,
sunlit corridor,
i felt so
vulnerable..
so weak..
getting
closer..
turn right,
a waiting room.
waiting for
assessment,
therapy.
i'm not
c r a z y.
a room,
deemed soundproof,
confidential.
but i don't
say
a word.
how do you trust
someone so
cold, so
unknown;
when all they
know
is your
name..
