Writing Is
I would say that writing is
bleeding from the soul
a release of ideas from the back of the mind
an escape for oneself
where judgment cannot take its toll.
And this is true in some ways
but
in truth
I will say that writing is
bleeding from my soul
so other souls can heal me.
And releasing ideas from the back of my mind
to see that they are not only mine.
An escape for myself?
No, instead a plea to you
to make me stronger
highlighting my flaws,
to fill me with warmth
at beauty there I did not see,
to be kind with your judgment
and unsparing with your praise.
So in the end
I write for me
by writing for you.
