no and they now have exclusive rights to your soul

for you D...
poets are painters
words as colors
forms for brushes
your ear their canvas
painters are poets
shades as sounds
hues for voices
your eye their page

we write
and invite
both good and bad
from those who know
those who don't
from others who show
and some who won't
put their faces to
the disgraces we view
pushing poison from our pen
until finally once again
full, we turn away
and sadly sour we say
enough is enough
we ask for strength for them and for ourselves
we shed tears for what we know
we hold hands to our chests and gasp for a breath
we plead to our God to be merciful
we do this and more
all the while
forgetting
who the survivor is
edit: Mizzy...thank you for understanding
if you want to write
nothing will stop you
and it will be painful
and some will say things unpleasant
but persevere and be yourself
and in time you will write who you are
and when that day comes
the weight of their words
shall sink in the shallows
as the glory of your words
will carry you above...
