For Me

For Me
_____________________________

I write because it comforts me,
gets things off my chest
and I adore it so much
I think it is the best.

I do it, because I feel the want
and I possess the need
to rid myself of things unsaid
to keep my sanity.

Writing brings me so much joy
it even offers peace
and I can clear out my soul
with such a sweet release.

I write about my life
or not about me at all
whatever comes to my mind
my pen it must recall.

So I enjoy conversing
with every written line
and hearing, what joy it brings to you
each and every time.

But I must confess the honest truth,
I do it just for me
but it brings me such pleasure
when the readers get to see.

They get to be apart of it,
no matter big or small
and it breaths life, into every line
for memories to recall.

I truly feel the same Anne Lise. Writing is for us, but if we get a chance to share with others, that is wonderful too. Thank you as always my friend, Jess
