Why I write
Locations
I am my poetry
I am the carefully designed
Lyrical lines
Of insanity
I am a walking scar
and poetry has healed me while leaving her mark
I do not regret
she was simply staking her place
over the wounds and ugly truths
I tried to erase
Magic marker for the soul
never truly works
and so my liquid love I pour
into every pocket hurt
until
i
am'
heavy
walking hunchback
in a world full of people standing up
and their minds bent in ugly ways
much like me
but blind to see
I am them
So i write my poetry
I trace my joys and my sorrows
along the lines of a sheet
I let them scream my thoughts
into the minds of anyone laying eyes on me
laying eyes my carefully designed
lines of insanity
this is how i breathe
allowing the words to sink deep enough to the places no one can reach
a home where my feelings release
but are never truly heard
until
i
am
a canvas of words
I am my poetry
and my poetry is free
so i write her truth
For the world to see
that she
is you
bent in ways that
life will often make you do
you question why i write poetry
but the truth iin which you seek
is simply this
I do not write, she speaks.
