words are bells
let them ring!

you do not have to be nice


you do not have to be"pretty"
but you DO need to write your own way home
or we will not believe you-not a word will be true
unless you include the anger and the fears
jealousies and insecurities that rattle your cages 
and make "writing" the soundtrack of our real lives
Speak your truth first-say it loud and clear
to anyone or anything near.Write only if you must
Truth has a high cost-commitment comes
when you release ALL your dragons at once
and ,feeling free once more
explore your own way home

(To Fiona)
