Me


 

To me,
Words seem to flow 
Easier on paper
Than from my lips.
Insecurity, doubt, fear
Are thrown away
When I pick up a pen and paper.
I pour my soul out through words, 
finding comfort in the release.
Mostly, I feel safe knowing that nobody would care to read these outbursts. 
And if they did,
They wouldn't care who it was that wrote them. 
I write because the written word is dead 
To most of the world. 
But not to me. 
When writing I can be invisible 
Yet demand attention. 
Satisfying my hunger for expression
Fearlessly and without regret. 
There are no rules and no boundaries. 
You ask why I write?
Because writing allows me to be me.
