I Write
I write when I don't know what to say
when my head is too loud
and my heart is too full.
I write about people
I still think about
even when I pretend I don't.
I write about things
I should have forgotten
but somehow still remember.
I write when I'm angry.
I write when I miss someone.
I write when I don't understand myself.
Sometimes I write about love
sometimes about losing it
and sometimes I don't even know
what I'm writing about.
I just know
there's something inside me
that needs to come out.
Maybe I'll never be the writer
I once imagined I'd become.
Maybe I'll just be this girl
who keeps filling pages
with all the things
she can't say out loud.
And maybe
that's enough.
Maybe that's what writing is for.
To leave a little piece of yourself
somewhere in the world
and hope that one day
someone reads it
and feels a little less alone.

WE HAVE KINDA SAME WRITING STYLE AND WELL I DO WRITE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT JS I AM NOT PERFECT AND NO ONE ELSE IS BY THE WAY NICE POETRY KEEP IT UP AND I DO WRITE 'CAUSE I DON'T ALWAYS EXPRESS MYSELF EFFORTLESSLY SO I WRITE SINCE PAPER HAS MORE PATIENCE THAN HUMANS WELL AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENING IN MY MIND SO I WRITE TO MAKE THINGS CLEAR EVEN TO MYSELF
My word! I just joined and this poem hits too close to home!
Reminded me of WHY I started writing in the first place. Not to impress, but to express. Maybe, poems or any kind of writing doesn't need to be "The Best", sometimes it just need sincerity and love for your creations. Thank you for this author! (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
I love this
This is an absolutely beautiful poem. Be proud of it and everything you write. May your dreams come true.
I resonate with this so much, keep writing <3 and God bless!
Hello! This is a beautiful poem, and I really enjoyed reading it. It feels raw and personal, and highly relatable. I put all my bad feelings in my stories and hope people resonate with them. It's kind of like a universal experience among writers, and it makes me feel less alone. I appreciate that this poem feels like it came directly out of you, like you're pouring all of your feelings and thoughts onto the page.
The repetition of various phrases such as "I write", "sometimes", and "Maybe" are effective at highlighting the narrator's experiences. I also think the way they come after each other is a natural progression.
There is a lot of telling in this poem: "I write when I don't know what to say/I write about people" for example. It delivers the theme, but I think the poem can be elevated by adding more imagery or other descriptive language. You can also add specific characters or events and going more in-depth about the emotions the narrator is going through. As the previous reviewer said, this is a common theme in many poems, so try to subvert that theme in a unique way that feels fresh to readers.
The poem ends on a beautiful and uplifting note. It resonates with me deeply. Thank you for sharing this!
