Out
My fingers return to the keyboard
My pencil returns to paper
I get it out.
The thoughts are overwhelming
The paranoia and fear and heaviness
I get it out.
I shake at night, weeping
I tremble in the arms of a friend
I get it out.
My parents refuse to accept me
Society refuses to better my kind
I get it out.
I always return to writing
Because it aids me to keep living
To get it out.
