I write as I think

swim or sink

good days and bad

happy or sad

I write when I can’t talk

when I wanna run, but can’t walk

releases inner pressure

a cossetted treasure

I write when I want to cry

On my soul I pry

my pen speaks its feeling

I’m often left reeling

I write because I have to

especially when feeling blue

It’s a salve to my being

provides emotional healing
