Tap Tap Tap Tap

Slam! 

 

My pen flies across the page

ideas flood my head

and in minutes I'm drowned in words

 

Emotions and expressions

throw themselves onto the paper

spreading their wings and learning to fly

 

Sparks set the ink ablaze;

it's burning into the parchment

and slowly setting me free

 

The ink and paper let me breathe

allowing me to feel relief and joy

that I sometimes I cannot express with speech

 

They make me feel alive and not repressed

to be able express and have to speak

is why I write.
