To Feel

I write in order to feel, 

to express what I try to hide from others. 

The fear,  the shame, I convey inside. 

My way to escape comes from words on a page,

the flow of my sentences set me free in my mind. 

I write to hear my own thoughts in this world. 

To discover who I really am, 

What I aspire to be, What I need to be. 

I write in order to make sure I still have a pulse, 

to feel my own heart beating, 

To feel alive.

It is a way to be myself, 

my true self and not the mask I put on to face the world. 

Why I write? 

Simply To Feel!
