THE LETTER:

I'm down on my knees
Forced down by something I couldn't have predicted
Emotion a seed
Growing exponentially
Bursting
Exploding
The earth that is me can no longer contain it

Thirteen years I waited
To hear from you the truth of my life and circumstances
All the times debated
Hurt, yet never hated
Grown
Alone
Now granted just one more of hope's chances

It's written, the letter
My heart, my life, to you unknown yet mine
Now it's better
Though my eyes wetter
I dared
Now scared
Respond and make a dying light shine

  I wish to return
  From whom I came
  Hold my letter
  And call my name.
