Why I'M a Poetess

I'm just a kid, and life is a nightmare I'm forced to be mature beyond my age Using my writing as my therapy Scrawling my thoughts across the page Every couple days or so a poem or two I write I can't sleep while my thoughts process So i scribble throughout the night I give you all my thoughts and fears this is the reason that i write so that i can clear my head giving me the strength i need to fight In this book i write the things that i cannot say to their face but letting it all out on paper helps me to keep my place writing poems calms me down and puts me back in control I have been writing poems for a while no since i was twelve years old Writing puts things in perspective shows me another point of view it helps me work out what was done wrong and shows me what i need to do If you look closley at what I write I think that you will find That exposed on these many pages is the darker side of my mind Everything i feel, i write my thoughts are a tangled mess I write to clear my head and keep myself sane thats why i'm a poetess
