We hurt all the time

Writers are bleeding hearts with years beyond our age of damage and pain. Our minds are the most blood soaked battlefields. Our pain never goes away we use it as our inspiration. We write about the people who hurt us again and again. We tell the horror stories of our childhood through our characters. We make it their childhood so we can talk about it without having to admit that it happened to us. We write about our emotions so we don’t have to talk about them. We cling to our imagination like it’s a life line because it’s the only childlike thing we ever had. We are the kids who had to grow up too quickly.
