Might be a little mellow dramatic but I wrote this about what it felt like to write a while back.
Enjoy,
No one understands
They don’t get it
They don’t see that writing is more than writing
They see words on a page
Fictional words that may or may not connect to them
They don’t see the tears and thought
Put into each word
They don’t realize
That the word “tears” is used in the most literal way
They don’t see that my writing
Causes me agony and pain
That when I write in the darkness
I am in the darkness
They don’t see
What happens behind a blank sheet
I am needed
Required
To keep writing
