If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

I'm 21 years old. I love helping people, singing, and writing. I'm very sensitive, compassionate, and understanding. I wish I could save the world and fix the impossible. <3

The Things I Know (Why I Write)

July 20, 2013

 

Compressed with so much anger,

My body cannot take.

 

So little, frail, and meager,

I then begin to shake.

 

The feelings forced inside me,

Are harshly packed so full.

 

Injustice overwhelms me,

From a world that’s far too cruel.

 

Dysphoric feelings grow,

 What happens isn’t right.

 

I’m troubled by the things I know,

And that is why I write.
