Just Me

I don't write for you
I don't write to make you like me
I don't write to make you hate me
Or to boost or batter myself over your reviews
I don't write so you'll think I'm wise or deep
Edgy or "emo" - or whatever word the kids are using these days to label and define their lives
I don't write to piss people off
To stir up political or philosophical debate
I don't string words together to appear controversial or the anarchist - aiming to inflict chaos through literacy

I write for me
To express and escape and perhaps nurture my inner me.
The soul that sometimes feels lonely and misunderstood.
I share and shape myself
Learn and listen to others
Respectfully humbly sincerely

But I write for me
Anything else is secondary to it's primary purpose

Muse

If I do not keep on writing. Then the ink will seep within. Causing an inner struggle. Solved only by the pen. The notebook is my body. And the folds create my heart. But without my muse.

A way with words is what they say, I never knew before this day. A smile upon my face when I write something I think is good, a scowl when it's not understood.

Urge

It's late at night. But I had an urge to write. Sometimes I get these itches. Ripping me like broken stitches. So I make a rhyme. To past the time. Or because words start to flow.

Doodlewords

My poems are just doodlewords, They don't take long to write. I observe the world around me, By ear, by nose or sight. By then my brain has started, To note a line or two.

It seems my minds my only escape. So please excuse my flawed messy words. But somehow it's the only way I feel safe. To let my mind wonder here and there, day and day again till my very end.
