why i am a writer: freedom

i am a writer because

words are freedom.

truth is present in poetry,

and it doesn't have to make

sense to anyone but me.

i will not share the meaning.

you can read it how you like.

i am a deep well,

so draw from me

what you wish.

every last emotion,

everything i've experienced-

or never once felt-

can be dumped out of my

head

and heart,

rearranged as the

mood strikes me,

and i can breathe again.

i've been set free

by the creator.
