The Screaming Voice Within

tattooed on this canvas
is my pain
once blank
now it fills up
with words
that i use 
to describe
my heartbreak
bitterness
anger
frustration
remorse
and more
writing it down
keeps me true
to myself
and reminds me
that i can trust myself
to move through this
every time
a negative emotion surfaces
i know i've got this
because i showed up for myself
and dictated onto paper
the screaming voice within
