Why I Write


The throbbing in my brain The tingling in my fingers The sorrow in my heart The tears releasing my eyes I write to express I write to let go I write to scream and shout I write for people to know The cuts and bruises The blood stained carpet The purple of the skin From the pain that inflicted No rhyme No techniques I write to write I write to be me I write to show people What lies inside of me I write to announce My feeling kept within' But let me tell you one secret I don't just write But writing writes me
