Some express it through speech

Others express it through a song

I express it through poetry

My friends express it through action

While others express it through self self harm.

There are those who express through shouting,

Some express it through crying

All are forms of expression

Only done to burn what’s cooking inside.

We all have what we want to usher to the world,

Find a channel that can’t hurt you

And usher it to the world.

I still remember like it’s yesterday

When I was told to express myself by twin sisters

Their names were Sasha and Tasha.

In the same spirit, get in the lime light and usher.

Wherever you are Sasha and Tasha,

I still thank you for that matchstick you provided,

Hoping you could see how this hidden candle turned to be.
