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.
