Emotions.

Part of me wants to scream...I want to scream out to the

world to get them to understand.

I want to scream until there isn't a single breath left in my lungs, until they sting with the 

energy I've expanded and my words hang in the air

for all to hear.

To be a poet you must write with a certain passion

live with the satisfaction that you can constantly assemble

phrases, words and lines

Because to truly write you must feel.

you must freely write your emotion

you must learn to let go of your darkest secrets

allow the words to flow from your mind

emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

they cannot comprehend why I write,

I am working for inner peace,

fighting for the freedom of my soul

Writing is my form of release, because sometimes

poetry is not a turning loose of emotion but an

escape of emotion 

moments when I start writing and yet know

what am I even to write of

poetry is about discovering, just like happiness

these aren't things ready made

we fear what we know but don't understand

we are loose at the seems, pretending to be fine
