part four of fixing this. i didn't realise how much it would take. i thought over this for awhile. i think it needs one more check but i removed a half of one stanza, then half of another and just changed it slightly. i think it adds more impact.
its very easy --
to get obsessed,
getting obsessed
...but with writing?
it can hurt.
because it becomes
your only way
to cope,
to stay sane --
to be okay.
and its hard to
open up to people
after writing for so long.
and having paper
be the only one
who truly understands.
its difficult to be
vulnerable and open
about your feelings
and opinions
when writing them
is all you know.
after re reading it for the fourth time i split a stanza in half and changed the wording. it feels like it needs more emotion. i think ill sleep on it.
