Hit Post to be Free

A Poem by John Anderson

Okay, so, follow the leader.
I'm just going to do as the Bird does.
I'm just going to write the lines
as they come out.
Scream and shout,
if I need to,
or not.

All I have us
what's inside me
that wants to come screeeeeeaming out

Damn, it's good to just write freely.
Just crap it all out on the page,
as if I had no viewers,
no audience to please,
not even
myself.


Okay, now I'm getting self conscious,
since maybe someone will actually read this
after all.
Will I fall?
Will it make me stop writing out the crap?
But I need to say things where I know my voice will be heard!
Once the embarrassment quotient gets too high
time to say "bye bye"
to all those embarrassing,
tumbled out
words.
feelings.
maybe just words about feelings?

{because, see now I'm feeling shy}
If I am brave enough to hit "Post,"
for that moment,
just for that moment,

Hahah, I love this man. It is something of which I very well believe in. Freedom of expression, regardless of the eyes of others, and what their mouths have to say, (or fingertips considering x) ). That is why I write, as I write. With little views and reviews, and I am quite happy this way. I have found a few great people within this site. I look forward to see what else you have written.
