I write because sometimes 

what's in my heart is not the same thing that's on my mind. 

When I speak its like my brain competes with time 

and my mouth resorts to stating stark observations 

as opposed to the nuances of color and rhyme 

that my heart is able to easily define. 

I like that words can roll of of my tongue and sometimes 

I can relate my true feelings in a way that makes you feel you really understand me. 

Bur if I take a second to internalize what's going on all around me 

though my mind 

is quick to come to a conclusion 

my heart can sometimes 

see past the illusion of 'real life' 

so to speak. 

My heart, the essence of who i am is best found on paper.

my writing is my feelings no cryptic code needed to decipher 

Just read and breathe and take me in 

I swear that you will like it

When i am that much deeper under your skin

feel me 

Like this paper feels this pen

I cry

I laugh

I hurt

I rejoice

I fall

I rise

I do those things because I am human. I write because I need it  

Like I need my next breath
