Written Words
Many people dont realize how shy I am
I dont say much unless I truly know you
Even at a young age
I was told I was gifted with words
I loved writing so much
People offered to publish
But I declined
I didnt want the publicity at that time
But writing was and always has been my outlet
My way of expression
Whether it be love and desire
Or hurt and fear
I always knew how to put it out
That made it seem effortless
But I have a secret
About these written words
Most times I just write
What's on my mind
I dont edit
I dont plan it
And it looks effortless...
Because it is...
When i put effort into a written piece
It never holds the same weight
So I stick with what I know
I write of pain and darkness
I also write of love and romance
I've even written tales of adventure
Because even I want to escape sometimes
So although many have applauded these works
I still find myself doubtful
Of the power of these written words
