Why I Write

I write when my heart’s too heavy to bear, 
When the weight of my scars is laid bare, 
Both the fresh wounds and those long since healed, 
In words, my pain is gently revealed. 

I write when I have too much to share, 
But no one has the time to care, 
So in the silence, my thoughts take flight, 
In ink, they find a voice through night. 

I write when I’m wrapped in loneliness deep, 
When smiles I wear, but do not keep, 
For the tears remain hidden, unseen and cold— 
It’s through my writing my truth unfolds. 

I write when my mind begins to sink, 
With thoughts I’ve no courage to speak or think, 
And in every line, I hope to find 
A glimpse of peace within my mind. 

I write, not for fame or to be known, 
But to hear the voice within my soul alone.
