Unspoken words rattling through my head,
Utterances I wish bravery had allowed me to birth
Tiny embers sparking in the farthest corners of my mind,
Patiently waiting to evolve into golden flames
Someday, those longing thoughts will break free
From the rusted iron chains that so strictly confine them,
Taking flight as the stroke of a pencil gives freedom
To all the infinite dreams once imprisoned within
Dense shadows dance upon the snow white page in an elegant waltz,
Giving life to the story my soul holds,
A priceless gem that gleams bright for eternity
