From quiet to write

        When I started writing, I did not know what I would write.

        Because I spent many years in a silent fight.

        A fight was between my mind and heart that - never let me write.

        Now it feels like I have been lost in quiet.

        I always found a play of words inside my mind.

        But I never quite knew how to play it right.

        It always felt like a challenge just to keep my mind quiet.

        Because I had no idea how I would ever win this fight.

        Words still play with me,

        But now I know the trick of how I can win.

        Yes, it took me years to gather the courage

        To bring scattered words together in line.

        It never felt easy to win this fight,

        But now I have my mind that chooses to write.

        And I feel –

        If I had not fought this fight,

        I could never have made words my own voice.
