I’ve written
more than a thousand pieces,
all in an attempt
to find my peace
of mind.
I’ve written
poems and prose,
and something kind of
in between the two of those.
I’ve written
letters filled with love,
anguish, anger, hurt, fear
and every other emotion than above –
letters that will
always return to sender
only because I refuse
to let them see the render
of my emotions.
I’ve written
everywhere,
literally –
everywhere and anywhere;
from my notebooks
and their backs,
to my phone notes
and random paper stacks,
in my textbooks,
and my pile of post-its,
even the back of my hand.
I’d write, stand or sit.
I write
because I don’t usually feel.
So when I do,
I write to heal.

Do you not want to feel? Is that why you write? Or you write to understand them?

I write to understand them. When I feel, it is always intense (and usually negative). I don’t always understand what I feel until I’ve translated them into words. If I don’t, I might simply feel pain and not fully comprehend why – which then drives me insane.

Writing helps you bring some order, clarity, to the whole heap. There is certain power to writing that allows for engaged reflection and introspection, it’s as if you are taking what is inside, put it on the table and examine it.
