I Write


I write for recognition, Then throw anonymous behind it. I write for expression, Then edit the words that I really mean. I write to stop thinking, Then mumble about word choice. I write to feel better, Then re-read it and feel worse. I write to release energy, But exhaust myself too much. I write to stop thinking like this. I write to release any thoughts that I have, So that I may sleep. I write to build confidence, So that someday I can gain Recognition. So that I can Express myself. To finally Stop thinking And maybe feel a little better.
