THIS WHITE SHEET

This white sheet

Lies dauntingly before me

Waiting to be filled with the words

That have all been said before

The thoughts that have worn out their welcome

The emotions that have ripped apart my soul

This white sheet

No longer blank now

But rather the humble beginnings of a glance

Inside my life

Behind my eyes

Bleed the truths

The mysteries

The passion

That cannot possibly be contained

No matter how hard I tried

This white sheet

Is my canvas

To learn who I really am inside

To share with the world

The things I need to

And perhaps

Some of those I should never dare

This white sheet

Screams the name of only one

With every word

Every verse

Every unspoken desire

I’ve shamelessly indulged

Upon this page

My hand forcibly rests upon my mouth

As I give in to these temptations

Leaving

These beautiful thoughts unspoken

Upon this white sheet
