This poem is a gentle talk between a writer and God — a simple prayer for words filled with feeling, truth, and healing. Instead of wanting fame or perfection, the poet desires to connect with even one person through honest expression. It shows vulnerability, humanity, and the wish to make writing feel real.

Let My Words Breathe

I don’t want my pen to just write…
I want it to feel.

O God… if You are near,
not in thunder, not in noise,
but in the quiet spaces
where thoughts fall apart—
please sit with me there.

Because I write with hesitation,
guide my words to carry meaning.

Let my words breathe…
not perfectly, not polished—
but honestly.

Let them shake a little
when they speak about pain.
Let them smile a little
when they speak about love.

And if they ever forget who they are,
remind them…
they came from the heart,
not from something cold like a machine.

I don’t want loud praise.
I don’t want empty applause.
I want one silent reader somewhere
to stop scrolling…
and suddenly feel understood.

Just one.
That’s enough.
