ramblings

write

I write to be connected

To something much larger

Than who I am

I write to show the world

That appearances

Don't really matter

I write to unwind

From all that life throws

Towards me

I write because

It is my escape

Yet it is a cage

It tethers me to the world

In ways unimaginable

Writing is delicate

Like a feather blowing

In a cool summer breeze

Writing is harsh

Like the brightness

Of the sun

Writing is heavy

It is a weight pressed upon me

Yet the writing

Lifts the weight

To make me

Free

To embrace the world

To be able to reflect

On all that is thrown

At my face

I write to show you

That fear

And pain

And regrets

Can be changed into

Something beautiful

That you are beautiful

Writing is safe

But it dares us to do more

To look past what we think

To actually try

Try to change

To evolve from a caterpillar

Into a butterfly

To appreciate what we are

Inside

To write is to dream

Of far-away places

Dream of what we want

To write is to accomplish

To be proud of something you made

From the depths of your mind

To the top of your heart

To write is to live

To the fullest point

And to appreciate

That we all have opinions

That need attention

To write is to feel

The emotions a soul

Gives to the world

To write is to be

Who you truly are

Writing strips away

All the walls you build up

To write is to try

To live life

To the fullest
