We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: Faith In Myself-A Rhymer

Here is my pen and paper,
White space that I wish to fill-
Then the pencil with the green eraser-
But the page is empty, still.

Shall I open up my heart
And set my sorrows down?
It seems to be the place to start,
But the ink will bleed, and I will drown.

Oceans and lakes and rivers of tears,
The paper is empty because I am blind
With angers and losses and griefs and fears
That freeze my pen and freeze my mind.

I wanted so much to be loved, you see,
That I wore my heart on my sleeve,
But my trusted love betrayed me,
And now, I no longer believe.

Here is my pen and paper,
The white space scrawled with black,
And with my pencil and green eraser-
My faith in myself trickles back.

Shannon
