Why I Write
She, my best-friend, left me in eighth grade
An emptiness that now finally fades
Insecurity and trust issues came to stay
A constant struggle, every single day
But through the pain, I found a way
To express my feelings in a different way
She is the reason why I write
Poems that help me heal and find light
With each word I write, I release the pain
And slowly learn to trust again
My insecurities begin to fade
As I find solace in every word I’ve made
Though she’s gone, her mark remains
A source of inspiration that no more pains
For now, I write with all my heart
Grateful for the reason she gave to start
