Writing Is How I Connect

Indistinct, they circumnavigate in the raw ~ they’re thoughts unprocessed and unpolished ethereal and feral, nothing more than impulses really If it were up to me, I might drown in that sea of ambiguity and forego all communication with the outside world forever content staying confined to my private universe In most instances I couldn’t be bothered yet at times I’d almost want to scream to be heard that’s when I’d want to be as loud and clear as I could be But sometimes the words refuse to form at times so deep they must be mined and surface in their own time that can’t be rushed So I write because it allows me to think at my own pace I can capture what I feel, what I remember I can seize it and can verbalize it I write for different reasons I write because most people never ask what’s on my mind when the time’s right or won’t wait for me to put my thoughts to words I write because I want to say it right I want to choose my words not be misquoted Mostly I write to capture time time as a memory, time as a treasure time as tangible, time as a toy to amuse Mostly I write to be heard I write so I can say I’ve done my part I’ve said my bit and can’t be faulted for staying quiet I write so I won’t die without a voice, without saying my piece without having said all I had to say AP: 1st place 2022 Posted on September 2, 2022
