I don't write poetry on my good days.
I don't write poetry at 8am after I just had breakfast.
I write poetry when I'm alone in my bed late at night.
I write poetry when I feel numb and empty and I'm dying to feel something, anything.
I write poetry when I want to curl up and cry to someone about the things I feel but I don't have anyone to cry to.
I don't write poetry when I feel confident and secure.
I write poetry when I need help but I'm too much of a coward to admit it.
I write poetry because if anyone asks me if the pain I write about is real, I can say "No, it's just poetry."
