I do not write because I want to
Or even because I can,
I write because I need to,
I write to feel again.

These poems arnt just words
With a meaning for you to seek,
These poems are meant for me,
They drive back my insanity.

I can not make things clear,
Nor tell you what I mean,
But these riddles are what I am,
And the problems underneath.

I hide inside their words
And secrets they can't tell,
For I fear the dark within me,
Which nothing else can quell.

This poetry is my mask,
My soul, my heart, my life,
I wrote this because I want to.
I need to feel again.
