Why I Write

Stress, confusion, bad feelings and thoughts cloud my head. I can't help myself, sometimes all I see is red. How can I relieve myself of this inevitable pain? Without hurting myself or someone else, how can I just calm down and explain? Explain to myself mean, not everyone has to know. If there was only a way I could express my inner feelings, without acting out or "putting on a show". This is why I write, only when I feel a certain way. It's easier to just get a pencil and some paper, that way I don't have to hold back what I want to say. This is why I write, I love to hear and actually feel the way my words flow. Every letter that forms into every word breaks my frustration into pieces, and one by one they go. This is why I write, for me, myself, and I. When I'm finished I no longer feel stressed or upset, I patiently wait for the next rocky turn life brings me, while praying it's not close by.
