I write. A lot I write about sadness and death About joy and smiles I write about feelings on top of feelings on top of feelings. I write. A lot I write in every form I write stories and Ballads I write Odes and songs I write poems on poems on poems. I write quite much don’t I? I write when I’m not supposed to I write when the house is asleep, I write where I’m not supposed to I write in my head while tears stream down my face I write a lot. I guess. Why though? Who is it for? When I write a lot, I mean. I think it’s for my brain. Because when I write, my tears stop, so I have enough energy to shed words My brain pauses so I can search it for phrases and meanings My hearts stop pumping so I can focus. Even if it’s just for a moment. I write as if the words are my speech and the commas my voice. I write as if I am talking Talking to the words on the page or on the screen Telling them things I don’t dare to say to anyone else I write. Too much I write about everything in every way I write when I’m not supposed to I write quite much. Too much. Just enough….. …….Yes. I write just the right amount.
