Desparate

I've had no courage to write before now, even in a drunken state I'm terrified of expressing such deep emotions I've felt and experienced. yet I do so, I must tell my story, even if it is in poems. These poems I wrote in distressed times, over time they accumulated. More and more I wrote, every time I expressed such emotions, or lack of. Pain, suffering, assault, moments from death, in tears , in rage, in love. I wrote . I wrote and let my heart out onto pages of raggedy note book. now I let them out in hopes of allowing others to know, to know they aren't fucking alone . We as a whole need to be heard, I'm scared, but the silent must be heard.
