it’s “I”, right?
I write
because I can’t speak the way you want me to
I write
because I don’t want to tell the truth
I write
because I can let it all out
I write
because my brain’s too loud
and if I talk it’ll just drown in sound
I write
the feelings down as they hit home
because it’s faster than waiting for you to come
and listen
I write
because I can’t finish
a sentence if I’m crying
I write
when I feel like dying
it calms me down
I write
when I feel like I might drown
I write
when everything is all wrong
I write
when my head is filled with song
I write
when you don’t reach out
I write
when I begin to doubt
everything I’ve done
I write
when I feel like I’m the one
who messed up
I write
when I want to feel tough
I write
when you make me feel small
I write
cause sometimes it makes me feel tall
or bigger than myself
I wrote
because it made me feel free
I know I’ll remain a writer
because that’s someone I’ll always be
