The Writer

He writes how he feels
The pain he has felt
The moments he’s lived
The feelings he’s dealt 

The people he’s loved 
The letters he’s sent 
Expressing his feelings 
About the good times he’s spent 

But the lovers he’s lost 
Breaking his heart in two
Pushes him to write
To help him pull through 

When he’s feeling alone 
He just picks up his script
Reading the words 
That he’s chosen and picked

A life of writing he chose
Because it makes him feel strong 
Expressing his feelings 
In a poem or song 

His opinions and thoughts 
Written down on a page 
Hoping and willing 
For someone to read them someday

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
