I’m not writing just 'cause i can.
I’m not here to drop trauma like breadcrumbs
hoping someone picks it up and calls it poetry.
I’m not throwing words in a well
just to hear my own silence bounce back.
i wanna write with why.
i wanna feel the sentence before i finish it.
not just wrap chaos in metaphors
and hope nobody notices I’m still lost.
I’m tired.
tired of pretty lines that say everything and nothing.
tired of calling confusion “creative”.
tired of hiding behind “I’m just expressive”
when I’m really just avoiding the truth.
I’m not against mess.
I’m just asking it to introduce itself first.
let the chaos know its own name
before it speaks through me.
i wanna write like i breathe,
smooth. real. alive.
not like I’m drowning
and trying to make my last gasp sound poetic.
