Don't hide it away

This poem does not belong to you
Nor does it belong to me
You simply penned it, thought the words
But its the reading that sets it free

You sat and wrote some flowing words
And you wanted them to keep
But you shared the caring simple verse
In a pen to make souls weep

The secret's that your heart did hide
Spews forth in erupting rhyme
And the feeling that your mind endured
Will echo to the end of time

The words can't be locked inside a vault
Or buried far out at sea
Cause' once its read, the words are used
Now they're a second hand catagory

Unlock the beauty of you're cosmic verse
Don't hide these words away
And People can read this verse my friend
On some far off distant day

You are so right. Once the poem is read, it can not be hidden away or taken back. The words are free, just repeat them. Great little piece.

Extraterrorestrial Beings v4 by RickthePoetWarrior

Our heroes are revealed for all they are, the final flash of a dying star, for with this pen I do they mar, with hopes I leave ‘em all a scar.
