Words

A Poem by IonaFaith
"

This is something that explains why I write, I think it's a good opening piece to describe my minder whilst writing although it could probably do with some work.

"
Sometimes I get angry and I just need to write things down even if they don't make sense. Sometimes when I write I'm happy or sad or lonely. Those are all such awful words to describe how I feel but I can't form the proper words to fully explain how it feels. When I want to write its because I need to express something I can't get out any other way.

 I'm so frustrated that all I want to do is scribble words onto a sheet of paper and see what happens. If its not what I want I can always tear it, screw it up, cross it all out. 

I'm so happy I could burst and I need to tell everyone exactly how my heart feels like I need to tie it down so it doesn't float away to meet the one that made it feel that way. I can always doodle hearts and flowers and stars in the margins but they will never be quite as good as the words. 

I'm upset and I don't know how to tell them what it is that's wrong so I don't, I tell the paper and hope my tears will wash the ink away before anyone can see it over my shoulder. 

I'm so alone in the world that I need to create other characters just to have someone to talk to. Even they leave in the end; I have to put my pen down at some point and end their lives.

Author's Note

IonaFaith
It's more prose than poetry but there doesn't appear to be a way for me to post it as prose without creating a book for it.
