I'll bring them to life
Let them breathe on my page
They can't stay confined in my mind
The ink will write their story

No one understands them as I
So I have to write them
They want to be known
Their stories must be told

It's not just words on a page
I's memories, meaningful moments
Every letter, every word
Draws the pictures of their life

When they cry, I feel their pain
When they laugh, I smile
When the times seem most dark
My heart wrenches for them

The ink will write their story
And I control the pen
For :iconlive-love-write:'s writing prompt "With the Pen in Hand." This is what I feel when I sit down to write/type a story. So many ideas burst forth, and I put them down, and then the characters direct me where I need to go so I can get their stories right. . .

You speak for they who cannot be spoken through voices unmade and yet you give birth to their words. Beautiful.
