How to Fill an Empty Page

A paper or book doesn't fill itself with the words.

I.

What a blank page

may conceive.

Untapped feelings,

unexplored worlds,

secrets revealed.

II.

The truth comes forward,

and starts to heal.

Anything’s possible,

but nothing conceived

if that pen doesn’t touch

that empty page,

and create a world

that dwells within.

III.

But it doesn’t happen suddenly

It doesn’t happen spontaneously

It starts with a dot,

then the pen moves

And the ink stains the sheet

In the right way

Possible.

IV.

And those thoughts

flow through your pen

Ah, yes!

The world within

flows hard and fast

V.

The pages turns

but empty no more.

Everyone exposes

The world within

n your own head.

VI.

And it continues

until your hands screams

No more, no more!

VII.

But the pain reveals

the world within,

for you to see,

for all to see.

VIII.

Thus, the page is filled

With the world within

That needed a way

To escape from your head.
