My Words

A gift are my words,
My words are a gift.
They were stolen from me, those words,
And the loss has set me adrift.

Innocently I thought my words were safe;
Safe in the knowledge that they were mine.
I never though anyone would steal my words;
The words I wrote, line by line.

My words gave me a hint to who I am;
They were very important to me.
Those words came from deep inside
And they showed me what I could not see.

My words were stolen by a petty fool;
The fool who stole my book.
To hurt me, they would do anything;
In the end it was my words they took.

But in the end, as it turns out,
My book of words was found.
That it was taken from me, I have no doubt;
But I'd rather not have revenge rebound.
