writing is my release 04/07/10

writing is my release--
when
everything gets hard
when
everything gets confusing
when
everything gets frustrating
and
i reach that point of heat inside me

a heat so hot it turns water directly
into steam

the point where
i want to take the next whiney little voice
i hear and rip it out

when i get to the point of violence
i know it is time to write
cause that way no one gets
physically hurt
and
i can take those angry words
those hurt words
those words of rage and pain

now on paper
and
i can rip them up
or
i can shred them
or
i know--BURN THEM!
and
watch my dark emotions
vanish in the light of the fire
and
drift away
with
the smoke
