I write I keep my mouth shut tight I don't say a word I write For the heart that cannot speak For my knees that go weak For the dance I cannot play out For the music in my heart I write Because I cannot bail myself out of this body Writing sets me free Writing let's me be me When I put my brain to work When my hands type away acres When I feel I fill another notebook I pick up the emotion of this world I cannot even understand how I write Then everything is understood I write so that everything plays out I don't shout when I'm liberated I write
