I write
because so few listen
my thoughts overwhelm me
I have so much to say when no one's paying attention
so few opportunities to speak
my thoughts spill out of my head and onto paper
my emotions blend with thoughts in currents of ink
their only escape from me
I write
because I know no other way
to clear one's mind
when life starts to rain
God gave me this gift to use when I need
the words give me healing as I let my heart bleed
