Writing my Wrongs

I know my rights.
I have the right
to be happy –
to be free –
to be nothing
but myself. Me,
I know my rights.
When I’m not right,
I write. I write
all my wrongs
and I release
pain that has
stayed with me
for so long.
I know my rights.
I have the right
to write my wrongs –
to get rid of thoughts
that don’t belong.
