Twisted Path of Writing


Some people say they dapple in composing,

But you can't just dapple in something that requires so much passion.

Either you write, or you don't, it’s not just supposing.

It may seem an old-style, but it never goes out of fashion.

 

Everyone takes a different journey to discover the words buried inside.

We try to hide the secrets and the hurt behind simple words that have no feeling

We can chase and search forever, but never find a true guide.

Searching forever for the words that are the most revealing.  

 

We must first find the courage to speak the words that need to be spoken.

It's not easy, and the path to finding them can be painful.

Trying to heal the things that have been broken,

Can, at times, be excruciatingly baneful.

 

It's always best to speak what is in your heart.

That way, the feelings won't build up, and you won't break apart.
