these words
my words
I say that I scream
them out
I say that I yell
them from the
mountain tops
but I don’t
I lied
what I really do
is hide
I hide away
in my tower
and write these
words
my words
on tiny pieces of
paper
tiny letters, tiny words
and then I fold
them
ever so gently
into cranes
tiny little origami
cranes
and I throw
them from my tower
in hopes that
they will fly
they are but paper
teeny tiny paper cranes
that pile around
the base of my tower
the base of my home
I have to find
a way
to make them
fly
I have to
stop
hiding in
this tower
and I have
to fly
.
I
have to
fly
.
