A Way Out


I am only truely myself

when I'm writing words on a page

and not an essay either

they have no flow

I'm talking about words that ryhme

words that feel

words that illustrate

words that communicate

words that perform

I can't simply say how I feel in a certain moment

Life is too fast for that

My feelings are only official

after I write them down
