Why I Write


I don’t write for myself

Or to impress anyone


I write just to get the thoughts out of my head

The things I am dying to say

But can never speak


So I write them down

Hoping the thoughts don’t consume me

Before I get them all down

Spilled Ink

I love the stars, the sea, and music. Poetry brings me a sense of peace and helps me find pieces of myself. Sleeping At Last is my favorite artist right now. I also love quotes and books How rare and beautiful it is that we exist
