Words I Should've Said

I write when people inspire me,

When words get too heavy to speak out,

When life gets harder, less easy, more tough,

When I need to cry, but words come out.

I write because it heals me,

All wounds from inside disappear,

And I need to cry more than one tear

When I'm done feeling fear.

I write too much, they say,

Yet I haven't shared all that I've got inside,

All those feelings, love, pain, and pride,

While life is left outside.

I write pure words and feelings

When I feel too much and can't express

All thoughts and nothing less,

All the words I should've once said.

—love,
