Challenge
Featured challenge:
Why do you write?
(100-200 words)
Winner's response will be published in Quail Bell magazine.
You are not alone
Words
Are demanding
Sometimes
Whispering ideas
Other times
Screaming from emotions
Most
Try to ignore them
Allowing them to fester
Infecting and spreading
Filling the body with raw emotions
That need to be released
In an outburst
I choose to write them
Spinning them
Into delicate threads
Weaving golden webs
Glittering
Like diamonds
Begging to be read
By snooping eyes
Greedy for gossip
But this diary
I keep
Very close to me
For only a few to gaze upon
For the thread is fragile
And unwinds
At the faintest snicker
But grows stronger
With every smile
And I understand
That is why I write
In hopes
I can reach
Somewhere inside your heart
And say I have been there
You are not alone
