Something Needed To Be Heard Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Securing a place in annals of literature through writing
of poetry, spilling my essence upon the world.

Watching the effects it has on people who read me, thinking
and pondering many thoughts that I have written.

Sensing freedom that I have felt and shared with everyone
and being seen in the poetry written.

Never bothering to worry about it, writing what others are
afraid to say out loud for fear of being shunned.

Not caring, stepping into the fray and challenging minds
of every type and intellect to use their brains and find
their own way.

Possibly being led in a direction by something I have
written that maybe has touched something needing to be
heard by certain individuals.

Hopefully changing their hearts and opinions for the better-
ment of mankind and themselves.
