When I can't make the words come out of my mouth, I write
When I am too frustrated to speak or sing, I write
When I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I write
When I need to think before I speak, I write
When I write, I hear a song in my mind
One without any sound at all
A song that puts spice on my tongue
I listen and see colors unimaginable
Instead of bursting out in fury, I write furiously
Instead of drowning myself in tears, I write water into my work
Instead of chaining myself with stress, I unlock my mind to write
Instead of hiding from the world, I release the world inside of me
When I write, I am at peace
With the world
With the struggles
With myself
For that, I write
