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 can’t 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,it’s my trauma to unpack
and my words take flight
Life on the BPD 
Excellent! And, as an old mentor of mine used to say, writing IS thinking 🤔

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

“To write is to fight” & “I write from love and spite” are such true statements about the process of writing! I often call it “vomitting” too, pouring our deepest, darkest thoughts onto paper. It is indeed often a battle with oneself that results with a poem. We write because we need to—not because we (only) want to.
Thanks for food for thought!
