to express yourself by more than mere words. by Melissa Arelto express yourself by more than mere words.
to accept and honor what you do not understand
solely for the purpose of understanding
to will what you have withheld
as you beckon the freedom of peace
to lay down the hurt thats layered your soul
and satisfy the thirst of a parched heart with your own tears
to become yourself in a world of make-believe
as the curtain closes on the final act of humanity
to live.. to love.. to sigh
chastised for living, the spirit grows within me
as i feel the pain and pleasure of being revived. 06/27/2001 Posted on 01/26/2003 Copyright © 2024 Melissa Arel
