poet protection program (04.01)

here am i
out of hiding
remove the padlock around my heart
gotta get back to writing

call all the search parties,
tell them it's time to quit

i'm just a poet who needed a break--
some time away from my thoughts for a bit

i tried to stop but his voice still echoes in my head
i can remember what it sounded like
when I remember the words he said:
"Madison, you have a gift"

"you have a gift"

"you have a gift"

instead of having a way with words
i decided to do away with words
instead of feeling sad
i decided to stop feeling

just a poet in denial
stuck between realities i don't know how to accept

so now i write.
i'm here
i'm back
pen to the paper, i'm here to remember

here am i.

no more hiding.

not anymore.
