I write to free my soul <br />from the bondage of youth <br />when I was not allowed <br />to openly express. <br />I write to mend the broken fences, <br />and drain the pain from the rivers <br />that run through meadows <br />seen only from behind prison bars. <br />I write to explore and experience <br />the valley that is me <br />and let my heart run free.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-i-write-16/
