I Need To Write

I'm thinking of writing in the third person because the first is hurting.
Physical and Emotional exhaustion has gotten the best of my ink and

There have been no words flowing;
No poetry in my mind's eye,
No prose erupting from emotional times,
No stories suggesting I'm alive.

But I can't stop now.
I NEED to write
I need write of a lost love,
An unborn child,
A dying friend;
All precious beings.
All fragile things.

I need to vent out my frustration.
Nobodies gonna do it for me;
Can't nobody document my inspirations the way I can
Can't nobody compliment my aspirations the way I can
For this, I need to write.

It's like, every time I try to fly I fall without my wings.
I need to write.

MY weakness caused YOU pain?
Damn, I need to write.

My dog just bit my ankle.
I'm 'bout to write

They say that if you can see the shore then you're not deep, and
If your eyes are open and you still can't see then you must be sleep but
I Need To Write how

my words flow deeper than any ocean plus
that shore and what's in front of me is more than what I see.
My cramped wrist moves to spill life into words while
My flushed cheeks and swollen eyes speak volumes.
I Need To Write.

I know y'all can't wait for the book.
I Need To Write.

Oh, so I'M a b***h 'cause I don't wanna ******** YOU?
I NEED to write.

WHAT? Dreams are illegal in the ghetto?
I gotta write.

She doesn't like me because you and I are close?
I need to write.

I'm not allowed to put my heart in my minds position?
I need to write.

My parents can barely pay the bills and
I need to write.

My friend's in the hospital and all I can do is
Write?

Words are running through my mind
Emotions fall from time to time.
Makes me want to write.

My pen is racing words across this paper a mile per minute.
I need to write.
A few miles and a million thoughts later,
I need to write.

My friends are keeping secrets.
My vocal cords get paralyzed from public speaking.
My Ti-Ti used up all the hot water from me.

I need to write.
I need to write.
I have to write.

I stood in the shower just to drown my sorrows but,
No one told me that sorrows can swim.

You're an astronaut and your next mission is to explore Uranus?
Wait...what the.....
Not much I can say about that...
Still, gotta write.

I'm restless.
There must be something I forgot to write.

If I could only hold this pen the right way;
hold it like a new love,
a soft touch,
a pair of golden wings,
any precious, fragile thing,
I would be able to get these words across to you.
This is why,

I NEED to write.
