Poetic Muse

It is words that save me and words that hide me. It is words that help me fight oppression and hunger and poverty and loneliness. Sometimes they are a lifeboat and sometimes they are a noose. Sometimes they gain me friends and sometimes enemies. A well turned word is better than a well turned ankle.
