I write—
when silence grows too loud to bear,
when thought becomes a knot I cannot untangle.
I do not always know what I think,
but the pen moves before I do.
There is comfort in the motion,
in shaping chaos into lines
that don't need to make sense to be real!
I write—
even when the words have turned to vapor.
Even when my hands are empty
and the world feels too wide
to hold onto anything.
In the absence of language,
I build it again—
letter by letter,
a castle of emotion and being.
I write—
because I am vulnerable
and hiding is too heavy.
Because truth is a razor in a velvet box—
beautiful until touched.
but so does silence,
and I’d rather bleed
than suffocate beneath the weight
of things left unsaid.
I write—
when I feel like ending,
when everything inside me says “stop.”
But the act of writing
is its own small rebellion,
its own soft resurrection.
In every period, I find a heartbeat.
In every pause, a breath.
I write—
because beginning again
is the most human thing I know.
The past does not ask to be erased—
only understood,
and in writing,
I give it form without letting it define me.
There are seasons in me.
Some bloom, some burn.
Some are barren, and still—
they belong.
Rain falls,
and I write.
I stop.
I listen to the stillness,
But the words return—
not because I call them,
but because they never left.
& I write.
I write.
