Im feeling manic
and Im gonna be honest for a second
I dont know how to write poetry
I dont think Im any good at it
I dont know for sure why anyone likes the things that I smash onto this web page when Im feeling emotions that I can only comprehend through words like these
But when I get even one notification
When I am informed that just one person liked something that I wrote
It makes me feel seen. Known.
It makes everything I feel a little less heavy
Because maybe someone understood or cared or felt a little okay about themselves too
I dont know how to write poetry or think im good at it
But it means a lot to me to be able to put words on the internet and have people read and respond to the things I say
Thank you
