My written word

By
Jenny Jimison

My writing is my style, my life

my very existence

it has helped to shape my

character:

all my strengths and flaws

it has been an open door

for all my feelings, thoughts, and woes.

Written word has helped me

to communicate my pain

it has helped to build a bridge

between my mind and soul.

Writing is a form of relief to me,

allowing my mind to roam free

allowing my senses to take over

and invoke a world of passion.

Writing allows me to discover,

the emotions I hold deep,

the social injustices which

my heart often reaps.

Helping me to make a difference

one word at a time.

At my time of passing,

I hope kind words are wrote

ones which will commemorate

all the justice that I wrote

I feel with all my power

that my writing will have inspired

all the feelings that are true,

Imbedded deep inside

My writing will be a legacy

for those who are close

for all the feelings that

I held so alone

It will help to teach the future

about the rules of life

it will give dignity

where one truly needs.

I hope that my written words

will seek to find a place,

if not while my presence

is felt on this Earth

than after I have passed on

to live forever thru my words

I desire to have a poetic soul

one which truly soars

one in which can share

emotions, tagnent and all.

I hope to have a celebrated word

that is read

one which will lead the

future to think

and think again.

My writing is a style

all of its own

one which is not trained

rather provoked

one which can shatter

and soar to great heights

if only I keep writing

what I feel is right.

I try to follow my heart

and mind

in writing what I know

I try to be adventurous

and write the unknown

I hope to investigate

and put these thoughts

to words

so that all the people

can feel and think

them too.
