Emotions

i write not because i have to
but because i want to
i express my feelings in my writing
until they are all let out
my writing lets me run free
it takes to my most favourite places to be
it can show me, it can hide me
it can define me
my emotions knot into my writing
it can show me who i am
i can learn and i can grow
and i can be truly be myself
writing never judges me
writing never leaves me
because i always know when i need it most
a pen paper will be there for me
