I wrote this poem in February 2022.

To write is to fight
words that cuts like swords
How do I stop this torture?
of suppressing a petty light
Pen stabs paper with might
about past regrets and lost love wars
and memories best left ignored
of a dreadful and chaotic life
To write is to fight
Demons I want to hide from
But I canβt help but succumb
to my constant inner fight
Pen stabs paper with might
and I try to find closure
about past lovers
I write from love and spite
To write is to fight
Do I really need to say that?
Yes,itβs my trauma to unpack
and my words take flight
Excellent! And, as an old mentor of mine used to say, writing IS thinking π€

Thank you. β€οΈ Writing is so healing for me, and I’m also an overthinker, so it’s extremely helpful for me.
