Ex- Nihilo


 I just want to write
I don't know what to write
I don't know how to inject my emotions through this pen
I don't know how to evoke the internal dried tears
I can't describe the left side of my heart which contains sadness
I guess it's indescribable
I can't write
It use to be breath
I was the tree sharing oxygen
I was the Griot telling the history of my days
I was the museum revealing it's art
I want to write
but I cannot write
I have thoughts but no words , so this paper will have lines and no ink
I just want to write.

God is on my side, ain't that enough? This world wants so much from us, all it does is receive. My Lord gave it all and I'm satisfied.
