I Don't Write

I don't write fantasy because I can never put those ideas into words
I don't write stories because I always blank on the endings
I don't write during the day because I get too distracted
I write my emotions because I feel them so deeply I fear I might explode if I don't get them out
I write poems because they don't need to make sense as long as they mean something to me
I write at night because I need the world to be silent for me to hear my own voice

    WOAH SO TRUE. I definitely relate to the last two lines. I could never put into words why I like righting in the dead of night and you just did that for me. I really love this

    Thank you! I'm glad it's relatable! This poem came to me literally at 2:30 this morning. It's nice knowing I'm not the only one who writes in the middle of the night!

    I completely felt the line about needing to get your emotions out through writing. And the last line is brilliant and true!
