    Writing

     So here I am writing again
    Trying to free the words from my mind
    Is it proof of wisdom?
    Is it to prove I am smart?
    Is it to proof I am gifted?
    Or to prove I can create art?
    Its for me to try to know
    Or never to find out

    Is it my therapy?
    My inner counseling?
    Proof I am weak?
    Or knowing I am a fool?
    Letting people know my feelings
    Reading lryics of my fears
    Laughing its not them
    At least they cant see my tears

    Maybe its none of those things
    Maybe its all
    Either way it is what it is
    My inner strength, when I feel small
    Exercising my inner demons
    Freeing my soul
    Giving into my foolish temptations
    Trying to feel whole

    Laugh or cry
    I am who I am
    I hope to never change
    Maybe its hard to comprehend
    Tough to understand and even strange
    Its my life
    One I have to live
    In the end I am happy
    I have a gift, God chose to give

    D.B. Johnson

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
