I Write

 

I write “she” and “her”

But I am who they are.

I write about them,

With no names

Because I am them.

 

Not always able

To come right out

And say it, but

Those tears they cry are mine

Their thoughts,

Their feelings,

Are mine.

 

You want to know me?

Read my words

For I am them,

They are me

At the deepest level.

There is no way

To hide from myself when I write,

I write because

I want you to see who I am,

When I can’t say it out loud.
