I was told it was for the attention
I was told not to voice out the odd
I was told society will never defend if it goes wrong

At age 10
I stopped caring
I lived in my skull
I bottled up feelings
I cried bitterly within
I stole the moments
I stopped caring and became reclusive
I caged my words.

At age 15
Writing became my safe haven
Ink bled from my fingers
My words were all I thought
My soul stayed hidden between
the pages of my notebook along
with my words

At Age 20,
Growth and maturity paid a visit
They told me to let it all out
Not to bottle again
I did listen to them
I questioned the sanity of this boldness
I was lost and in reclusive
At age 25,
I was a victim of flirtatious abuse
It caused me to live my life
hidden from the world
through total lack of confidence
I’d lacked throughout my life; no one there to comfort me words of encouragement.
A stranger reached out to this lonely soul
He was there to answer all my prayers
My faith never rekindled from dwindling
I was lost because I let myself go
If there was anything I learned, it was that my words
are mine and mine only
