The Writers

I feel the overwhelming need

to grab the closest pen

and write,

 

just write.

 

Write about all that is in my mind,

to write about all that is consuming my

every thought,

to write about the people

that are living inside me.

 

But I don't.

 

Instead, I think about it all,

I listen to music

And I read.

I stare at the ceiling and I talk to my pets.

 

There's nothing wrong with this.

I will write about it all. Eventually.

 

You see, I'm a writer.

And sometimes the beauty is not in the writing,

but in ourselves.
