I Write

i show up
i have nothing
but i'm here
writing
showing up
i need to write
and reclaim me
i've been lost
in everything else
it makes my heart sick
when i don't write
so i write 
blindly write
to save my soul
and i scribble
but i'm here
i show up

Well done. I know how you feel. There's nothing more gratifying or pleasing than to write something that makes you want to share it. Many is the time that I've just scribbled something to maintain attention. But I get more satisfaction when it it comes from the heart. Thanks for this piece to remind me that I'm not alone. I hope you find your next great inspiration. Rockman
