I write

I write to speak my mind
Speaking can be a waste of time
Talking can be so overrated at times
Written word stays forever
But speech lasts as long as you can remember
To let go

I write to heal
From words that have been thrown at me
From unpleasantness that I have felt
From hurt that I can’t escape
To let go

I write to feel
When I don’t understand
When I can’t tell one emotion from the other
When I’m so pissed off that I can’t think straight
When I don’t know what to do or say
To let go

I write to tell
My story
Tell my tale of mishaps
What I have learned
What I need still to know
Things people would never know about me
To let go

I write for me
Not for you
Not for anyone
But me
To let go

I write to break through my wall
To let myself know I’m alive
To let myself feel emotion
To open up to those I care about
Or hope to
To let go

I write to let go.
