Words

Written by Jacob Ibrag

You hoard those words as if

they belong to you, as if they’ll grow in

value over time if you deprive them of oxygen.

We beg that you spill those secrets, the ones that have

been clawing at your mind to let the world see them.

This is why you were created. You carried the

weight for so long, we’ll help deliver

the information.

    Yes, I finally found the right venue to express my words freely. Not many would appreciate my openness in my blog but now I enjoy freedom like I’ve never had before.

    That’s exactly why I’m here. That’s exactly why most if not all of us are here. Thank you for your voice.

    I love that I found Twitter and created my blog to finally let go of what I wanted to say. It is incredibly freeing! Loved this and all you write.

    A great poem! I just voiced out my opinion recently about a certain issue and I feel like this is exactly what I need to hear. Great!
