Some things I write
are too personal
to share.
Some things I write
reveal more of me
than I would like people to see.
Some things I write
Confirm what I need to confirm.
question what I need to question.
Affirm who I am at this moment.
Provide a means to clear my mind,
Vent, cry, laugh.
Some things I write
are written
just for me.
Some things I write
I will never read.
Some things I write
I later turn into a song.
And every time I sing it
a piece of my heart
heals and rejoices.
Some things I write
Come out fully formed.
It’s like the the words were waiting
For the right time and place
To escape from my head
Fully constructed,
No editing necessary.
Some things I write,
I share,
And sometimes someone says,
Me, too.
That always feels good,
like I’m not alone,
like that’s a reason to write.
But not the only reason.
Some things
I write,
Some things
write me.
