Paper Suicide

When I’m in my time of need, I write all of my thoughts down,

I don’t wish to hurt anyone else, hence why I keep the thoughts in paper.

Paper doesn’t speak, but can only listen,

It can forget, but only when advised to.

My paper is my messenger, my key to opening emotion,

The one way I can express myself to others, through my very own words.

People rebut, and argue and are hurt by emotion,

Paper is an object, for it cannot convey emotion until its ink bleeds from the tears dropped upon it.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

As in context, it is not a utensil of writing, but a shield,

It is a shield from the sword which I bear against myself.

Wow. This is so true and relatable. I do the same when something hurts me I write all my anger and frustration on a paper. Beautifully written.

This is so powerful. I am glad that you can express yourself in a way that makes you feel something. When writing, I sometimes feel like it makes me a person, when life won't. You are not alone. "Living just to die. Dying just to live." Writing is my most precious weapon.

Thank you so much for the review! It's great to get reviewed every once in awhile! XD

Writing IS such a powerful form of art. Good art will change the world, as it can change people.
