a writer’s reason.

i write to save myself.

constantly scribbling

to stop disappearing.

constantly talking

to avoid being boring.

trying to seem like i'm everything,

despite being nothing.

i write to keep sane.

when demons are angry,

when feelings get shaky.

a pen is a drug.

the flow of ink on paper, a dream.

the roar of words in mind, a stream.

i write for all the words unsaid,

for all the tears unshed.

i write for the exclamation,

for the narrative,

for the hidden explanation.
