When I write,

It moves in me.

I feel what I write in everything I am.

Sometimes, I will be crying.

I will try and sort through my thoughts.

And sometimes, I'm going mad.

I can't scribble the words down fast enough.

Sometimes I scare myself.

I will read what I have put down over and over in my head and think,

"I really wrote that?"

It is scary.

But it helps.

Writing is my therapy.

Sometimes I will write.

And when I do, I take it slow.

I'll piece it out in my mind.

I do my best to describe.

..To capture it.

Before it slips away.
