Write Write, Read

My blood pulses through my veins,
Thump thump, repeat,
My heart rids me of my pains,
Try try, defeat,

My body holds me together,
Strong strong, frail,
My soul lives forever,
Hurt hurt, prevail,

My mind talks to me,
Calm calm, anxious,
My music sets me free,
Alive alive, emotionless,

My hand slams my door,
Angry angry, relieved,
My existence gets ignored,
Forgotten forgotten, seen,

My voice disturbs the air,
Loud loud, quiet,
My confidence mocks my despair,
Honest honest, hypocrite,

My being fills this page,
Lies lies, none,
My self leaves its cage,
Flying flying, gone.
