Why I Started Writing
I’ve always been told I’m good at speaking
But to me the words never come out right
I’ve always been really bad at drawing
And my art just never seemed right
But I’ve always been great at faking a smile
But I couldn’t force it to last more than a while
So when the words became harder to say
And when society would look away
I put the words on paper
And allowed the act to taper
As I took the bad thoughts out of my brain
I let myself feel the pain
The writing kept the pain at bay
And throughout my life the writing will stay
