there's something intimate about writing
with pen and paper
my thoughts spill from my mind
and out the pen

it's like the ink is my blood
and things I could never say
are brought to life on the page
and that's the way I like it

typing on a computer or phone or laptop
feels cold and sterile
in a font that's strict
there's nothing hiding in times new roman

but in the strokes of my pen
you can see my shakiness from anxiety
you can see the deeper impressions when I feel passionately
and you can tell when tears fell off my cheeks because I went too far

there's something intimate about writing
with pen and paper
and maybe that's why what I let people read
is written in times new roman
