writers are also warrior

In case no one gets it,

i collect my excerpts

better

than i spell my prayer.

Spills my personal feelings

and trouble,

longer than i bow

on my knees.

 

i memorize every shame

and quote it

in a piece of paper,

the same stroke

they did to break

my bones.

Marks down

every of their tone

when i got yelled at,

being degraded.

 

In case no one gets it,

i use my fingertips to fight.

Being sure of my words,

but never myself.

 

They can take off my guts,

break down my sanity

into pieces of insecurity.

Yet i’m here to remain bold

until the last spill of ink,

and my pen

can no longer stand.
