Within Me
a Poem by Raquel Swann
This power within me
Lies dormant
Creativity, passion, & love
Left on a workbench
In a locked room.
I possess the key
It’s in my back pocket
But my damn hands
Are left limp
Flushed with anxiety
That I may not succeed.
Fear drives me away
Pipe dreams such as these
Never come true,
When you don’t even try.
Within me there is a power,
And I am the ONLY one
With the key.
