These Words of Mine
When I open the door
When I let them fly
These words of mine
That have NO reason
To be hidden
I have NO reason
Not to say these things
To open up
To tell everyone
I AM HERE!
I have NO reason
To be hidden
To fade into the wood work
NO reason
To be like the rest
There is NO reason
To change myself
To meet their expectations
But there is EVERY reason
To meet my own
To be myself
When I open the door
Given the choice
What will YOU decide?

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
