Simple Gratification

There is something

gratifying

about writing down

your thoughts.

They seem to

take shape and

come to life.

I want to 

give my feelings

shape.

I want to

give my feelings

life.

 

I feel

nothing,

yet I feel

everything.

My emotions are

juxtaposed

in my mind.

They constantly

fight and

argue and

contradict,

until they stop and

I am given 

a blank slate.

 

I feel like a victim--

like a girl that could not run

fast enough.

I feel like a liar--

surely nothing bad could happen in

such a small town.

I also feel like an optimist--

a ray of sunshine 

radiating positivity.

I feel like a poet--

writing down my thoughts and

giving them life.

 

My mind is now a

blank sheet of paper,

waiting to be 

brought to life.
