Why do you write?


They say the most beautiful

words,

Come from the most

broken

places.

So with every 

line,

stanza,

and punctuation,

every 

lie,

stab,

and punch in the face,

is revealed.

A beautiful mater piece it makes.

The soul is relieved.

The heart doesn't ache.

Words some dont have the courage to speak,

flow like rivers

of milk and honey

that relate to someone else.

Broken places

put back together.

Lessons learned,

a way to make things better.

Whether it be the same old sad song,

or

the dreams and aspirations within,

pen to paper

hold the deepest truth...

 

They say the most beautiful

words,

Come from the most

broken

places.

So with every

line,

stanza, 

and punctuation,

I reveal the strength that lies within.

<p>I love how your flow is not so complex, but really pretty. You&#39;ve done a great job without being too wordy.&nbsp;</p>
