Words Of My Soul

By Jo-Anne Sieppert

Words Of My Soul is my second collection of forty nine of my personal poems. Some of which were written about my own personal experiences, thoughts, feelings and desires. However some were written to simply be entertaining, such as a personal favorite of mine, a humerus poem titled In Bed.

What if there was a way

To very honestly belong

To be truly accepted

Where you could finally just be you

Without the façade

Without the mask of perfect clothing
