iWrite

I write,

just to pour out how I feel

no one is forced to listen

emotions I need to spill


I can spend sweet moments

lingering over precious thoughts

or endure the sting of painful atonements

as they flood from the crevices in which they were caught


I can mix myself any concoction

3 parts elation, 1 part pain

not sure of my destination

just trying to relieve my brain


I can alter all the endings

stir in a little more appeal

torturing myself with dreams

that will never become real


I could smile a pretty smile

and cover my pain with lies

but here I can express what you would find

if you cared enough to look deep into my eyes


now I don't want to confuse you

with deep emotional zeal

for the joy that I share

is quite true, and quite real


but pain still haunts my skin

and hurt still clouds my mind

can't keep it all within

so in writing, release I find
