I Write

I write

to tether myself to this world

lest I float away

I write

to avoid so much introspection

I find myself inverted

I write

to cut pain from my soul

releasing fear and terror

 

I write

to spill my guts

so you may identify its contents

I write

to crack myself up

and put myself back together again

 

I write to

to ignite fires in bellies

starved of words

 

I write

to face the reality of today

punching unfairness into tomorrow

 

I write

to unwind the tightly coiled springs

of the bed I made

 

I write

to lose myself

so that I may find myself again

 

I write

to dislodge the iron mask

that hides the inner truth

 

I write

to capture memories

for my mind has storage issues

 

I write

to hold a candle flicker

to the dark crevices of my mind

 

I write

to free myself of the chains

anchoring me to the past

I write
to bandage gaping wounds
that identify me

 

I write

to see, to feel, to touch

 

. . . . . and so I write
