Why I Write

 

I am an introvert

I live,primarily, in

my head

I have difficulty 

communicating 

Socialization is not

my strong point

Not something I was

taught as a child,

or discovered later

Still and all,  living thoughts

demand liberation

They chastise me

So, I write them down

and look at them

exposed to light

Some of them frighten me,

or enlighten me, or make me

listen, or make me see

Out in the open they often

pose a question

in order to quiz me

Some become a story told,

most birth poetry

Some I release to others,

strangers mostly

Family are iffy, though 

no judgement is there

Sometimes I stop

but never for very long, 

and

Those I can’t bear to share,

I scribble

secretly
