Upon this Empty Screen (Free Verse)

*I dedicate this poem to CC&P*

Through the years we've bonded,
bridged the gap with our words,
and unlike most friendships,
where contact with the other person plays a large role,
I feel as though
that isn't needed with us.
I feel we are beyond that.
And I feel connected.
Welcomed.
Appreciated for the first time.
People listening to the words
that my mouth spits out so frequently,
and knowing exactaly what's running in my mind,
without judging me,
or telling me that I'm wrong.
I've been able to open up,
and when something is on my mind,
its one of the first places I turn,
and when I'm finished
my mind is at peace.
But the more I stop to think about it,
these people are strangers.
is it alright me them to know so much about me?
to know the real me that I hide from my best friends?
And while that question does haunt me every now and again,
it doesn't stop me,
from staring deep into my empty screen,
waiting for the right words
to express my feelings
with the safety net of knowing
that no matter what comes out of my mouth
things will be alright
because for once
I belong.
