Am I the only one who feels this way about writing?

That even though it is your words that you are penning - your own thoughts, that it’s a friend?

 

Some sort of company in the darkness, in the empty parts of your life?

 

That when loneliness drifts into every orifice; seeping into the crevices and crooks in your body, your words are your friends?

 

When I write, when I see the ink form variations and combinations of those 26 letters, those symbols, I feel as if the answers are staring back at me.

 

Perhaps not.

 

Perhaps this is what writers tell themselves to stop them from going off into the deep end; stop Loneliness from truly swallowing them whole.

 

What do I know.
