Nice to See You Again
Poem to My Notebook
Hi there.
It's been a while.
Nice to see you again.
Lately,
I haven't spoken much.
And the words I have spoke
have been so hollow,
they'd shatter
if anyone wanted to chip away,
chip away at the truth.
If anyone wanted to see
behind the mask
that I placed over my face,
I'd be speechless,
I wouldn't know what to do.
Except...
when I'm with you.
When I'm with you,
I no longer wear a mask,
I no longer wear a shield
from the words that others wield,
I can be free,
you can fully see
who I am,
and
who I want to be.
When I'm with you,
I am away
from all the fires
in all the hells
in all the world.
I'm far into the stars,
A world of imagination,
and
a world of truth
all at once.
A place where I can take the oath,
Sit in the witness stand,
Tell the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.
But still feel like youth.
Be free,
but still
be...
me.
Hi.
It's been a while since
I confessed on your lines
and spilled my emotions on your pages.
Nice to see you again.
Now,
please...
Keep me sane.
