Victoria Payne Poet Rhyme

I Still Write

'I still write'

Though 'tired' will never describe the drain 
Nor agony told recount the pain
No matter what I say or write
You'll never know my weary plight

As pen these words, outline the dread
Of another night in restless bed
Write of racing heart and poorly gut
Whisper fatigue has caused this rut
Shout rooftop high of migraine strain
Will I ever wake without again?

Hanging on with all my might
To life once partied through the night
I'll keep on writing share my truth
As ageing years steal from my youth 

I rhyme my thoughts to cause distraction 
Not to moan or cause reaction 
Don't think I'm sad through words I write 
I know too often am contrite 
I find myself I am at peace
When I write my masterpiece


'I still write' ~ Victoria Payne

Chris Green October 12, 2016 at 6:46 AM This was beautiful, a little sad but filled with hope it seems. No matter what, I will write and I will express myself for I am me and I am strong. Nicely done. Victoria Payne October 12, 2016 at 8:15 AM Thank you so much :)
