// faucets of my mind //

you opened the

faucets of my mind,

and flooded the world

with thoughts that

have been pushed

to the back of my mind

for far too long.

you caused an uproar

of emotions

directed at none other

than that of my lost soul.

you accomplished that

which i feared the most,

and made me realize

that my hurt came

not from the explosion

of outsiders’ thoughts of me,

but rather the implosion

of too many

of my own thoughts

of myself.

you gave me a voice

that i never knew

i had,

and now

i use it

to thank you

for giving me the life

i never knew was possible.
