Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Blank Page
What do you do when the page
Is a ghost of unwritten words,
Feelings bottled up and unheards?
Where do you find the courage
To speak up, letting out disillusion,
Frustration turning into a volcano, hidden
Under a mask of white perfection, forgotten
That it enshrouds your reaction
Perfectly concealing beliefs, feelings
That are a burden, unsharable
For the blank page is a noose, unforgettable
Pressure to perform according to norms followings
Of a spew of remarkable expressions,
A river of lava that turns into fire
All it touches, for its only foe is the dire
Need to express those doubts that bog you in suspicion.
