I write because it's the only way out of that bubble everything is trapped inside I write all that I feel to a blank page And it's like hugging silence You'll never understand It's the only sentimental lust I'll allow myself to feel Confined to the flat black and white letters Each word healing yet exposing hidden wounds I've written too many things I've never said Strangers know more about me than my own friends I write myself to happiness Set my soul free I write my conversations with God All my hopes and dreams I write about the past I can't remember The things I never want to forget Each and every poem Shows my life in progress I write so I can breathe Its my way of doing things I write out forgiveness To live, laugh and believe I write out the love I couldn't give I write my fears so I could face them About all that I never knew yet miss all the same I write about loss and it takes away the pain I spill my secrets to the world Yet whisper lies to the tides But it keeps returning for the truth That I promised to hide
