The Final Word

Bearing my soul so

my words can come alive

to help open up a world

where I feel I can thrive.

Hidden thoughts that had

brought my life to a standstill

have been shared and now

there are dreams I can fulfil.

The shackles of doubt

which had tied me down

are now unlocked and

I can finally lose this frown.

Looking towards my future

with renewed optimism

for at last I can now

ignore my own cynicism.

I have realised my voice

needs to be heard

and my demons can go to hell

without the final word.
