I Don'T Know

love to sit and write 
  not a poem 
    not a song
        just for fun,
words that ease 
      words that comfort
           words I just want to let out 
              when I'm sad, mad or just for fun,
not a poet nor a writer 
  just liked pen to paper
    now... a write on the net 
      to you to others for any one to read,
you see this is my mask
  these are my thoughts
     you see letters not who I am
         to you just foolish stuff to read,
here others fill the same
   here we only know each other by name
      out there on pavment we do not see
         it's just other people like you and me
but no one says the tears that flow
   the smell of a red rose nor in her arms love grows
       there mask tell of another story and sheilds who is inside
          hides the pain, the love, hides for we fear they'll laugh at you and me
so here I sit, I read, I comment, and fingers to a key board I write
  to no one really just to let others know we are not alone
     that we all fill, we all cry, love dies and the pain subsides
        and when I am done I hope it helps I hope another...knows
not a preacher nor a saint just someone who wants to let it go
   someone looking for better way and here I know there are others like me
      who just want to be listend to, heard, who just want to know the not alone 
          and this is why in the box that reads form...I write I do not know.
