Reasons

I write...

I write not because I am bored,

But because I am bored of not being heard

I write...

I write so my words sing ludicrous tunes for my silence

Silence to those things I rather not speak out loud

Silence to those things I know not how to say

I write...

I write to express

Express those lingering, hasty thoughts and feelings

That are kept enclosed in my head

Which, repeating, plays over and over

Punishing the mind

Which just wants to escape,

Escape to be free

I write...

When I write I’m in my own world

A world so real, but yet still so unreal

Unreal to what's around us

As I place pen to paper

Letters appear, letters form into words

Words form into sentences

Sentences form into a paragraph

The flow of my expressed rhythm of words

Are now formed into paragraphs of my:

Deepest thoughts

Darkest secrets

Emotions

Imagination

Which creeps itself into a poem

My poem

I write to be heard

To be seen
