The words
Trapped in the cage
Claws ripping into the steel
They push and push
Until it collapses
They come tearing out
Of my throat
Tears spill down
I crumble
And awake
To a new paradise
Welcomed by opened arms
And smiles all around
Peace and prosperity
The scents linger
Souls afresh with new hope
The words I spoke
Did they do this?
How could someone
As small as i
Change the world in such
A way
With something
As little
As words

The author's comments:
Being quiet, words stay locked in most of the time. This piece is about an incident in which the words that the girl was trying to hold in escape. The words were so influential, so meaningful, that they changed the world as she knew it. This piece is meant to inspire people to speak on what they feel.
