Free-write #2 "When I Show You My Words"

            When I show you my words, I hope you see them.  I hope you see them, and read them, and think.  When I show you my words, I hope they touch you.  Effect you.  Change you.  When I show you my words, I hope you love them.  Or hate the. Anything, so long as you feel them.  I hope you trust them.  And me.  I hope you accept me.  I hope you touch me, just like I touched you.  Change my world with a smile or a nod.  Or a response. 

            It is sometimes difficult to embrace another’s writings.  Writers are different.  We’re afraid of different.  But please… embrace my writing.  Embrace me.  Whether or not you do, I will embrace you. I will embrace your piece.  I will embrace your mind.  When I show you my words, let them be yours.  Or let them contradict yours.  Or let you care.  Have an opinion.  Have a mind and some thoughts.

            When I show you my words, be courageous.  As courageous as I in showing you my words.  When I show you my words, let them seep through the paper and into you.  Let them melt from my speech and baptize you.  When I show you my words, know that now you hold me; you hold power over me; you know me.  Deeper than you ever else would.  Together, we will be two individuals connected.  Momentarily and forever on.  Because of my words.  Because I showed you my words.  When I show you my words, I hope you smile.  I hope you know what you did for me and how I trusted you.  When I show you my words, I hope you react.  To me.  To my work.  To my words.
