The Rationalization

I write because I don't know what else to do when things seem so crazy and I can't get through to anybody because no one wants to listen to me except that piece of paper where the pen through which my heart bleeds out as ink onto the only outlet I can find to relinquish my struggles and clear my mind without a single word coming from my mouth; My brain guiding my hand to motion my writing utensil to scream "I want out!" So many times writing feels so much easier than talking; A channel to all of the emotions and the thoughts running through my head. Writing is better because some things are better left unsaid. The movement of a pen writing isn't the same as that of your voice shaking through simple words that seem so difficult to say like a barrier has been built up in your throat making it painful to even speak one word. I write because this is how I get by, the words on the page reassure me that I am alright and at least I am trying as long as I can write. I trust the paper and believe that it won't judge me unlike some of the people who come across it might. This is why I write: Writing just feels right.
