I don’t know why I do
I just write
To get my feelings out
To share my secrets
To show myself

It’s the only way I know how
To share my voice
I express myself through poetry
Because there’s nothing else
But my words

It’s a hidden addiction
One I won’t get help for
All I do is write
When I’m not
It’s all I think about

I have an entire book filled
With my words, my poetry
It will continue to grow
And grow
Becoming bigger and bigger

I breathe life through my words
To try to get people to listen
To try to get it right
To try to get others to understand
But they’re stuck

All those unspoken words
All those bottled up feelings
Are stuck in my head
The only way to get out?
Through poetry
