Letters by letter by letter
These thoughts and emotions
Pour from my head to my heart,
Through my veins.
They reach my fingertips,
Tapping eagerly on the side of my laptop
But then I hear it,
What if it sounds stupid? What if no one cares what you have to say?
Her voice, no, my voice,
Doubtful, hurting, scared.
But the thoughts keep pumping
my fingers violently throb
It all happens like a blur,
I have to get these words out
Or everything will explode
Into a dizzy array of sparkling light
So I type and I type and I type
I type till my fingers go numb
And my eyes are glazed over
And it doesn't hurt to breathe anymore.
And despite her many warnings,
When I click 'save',
She quietens down
And anxiety doesn't hold me back.
