I write
I write
As if it is the only way to express my emotions.
My emotions flood my mind as I search for a way to get away from them
As I write I feel as though they are leaving me
Flowing away from my mind on to the paper
The sadness and self loathing I felt exits my body
Until next time
When it comes back even stronger
I can’t cry
That knot in my throat
That sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach
All there
But still incapable of tears
Unable to show the emotions I feel
As if I don’t care
The problem is
I care too much
I have become numb
Dealing with these problems inside of me
Has been too much
There is pain beneath my skin
Flowing to my heart
As it becomes too heavy for my body to handle
So then I write
Because for now this is all I have
