I wrote a letter to myself the other day Asked myself the questions to anyone else, I couldn't say And whispered between the lines my inner secerets I wrote a letter three pages long About my life and how it's turning out wrong But never meant to say all that was written in my head I wrote a letter the other day to me And addressed it, Dear self, I'm in agony Please help me if you can A trip down memory lane took place And I knew as I wrote, tears streamed down my face As result my hand started to shake The pen wasn't fast enough For my thoughts, a draft that was still ruough So I had to just write as they came I wrote myself a letter the other day Wrote 'till my hand was as coarse as hard clay I enclosed it in an envelope Faster than you can blink For the letter must be done I knew, when I ran out of ink. |

Great poem, Joy. I hate running out of ink, hope you get a new pen fast. Maybe with happy ink this time...  |

Oh yes, writing a definately a gift, especially when you can "unload" all your feelings, even if you're the only one to read them, it still helps to vent on paper. Have done that a thousand times myself. I'm glad you can too! Thanks for sharing! ------------------ ~~ Lift your head high - spread your "words" and fly - - poetFemmeFatale |

Joy- I completely know what you mean. I do this all the time, except I think everything out instead of write it. Mybe you should try that next time- it saves paper, not to mention trees, and then you won't run out of ink! Just an idea. Anyway, when you said the tears started sreaming doen your face- that happened to me too, the first time that I ever wrote a song. It's an awsome feeling that you get, isn't it? ------------------ *~*Laura*~* "Dream over me with a tear, anything it takes to wish me here.

I've done this so often myself. Writing lets out what I just know I can't or shouldn't keep inside any longer. Isn't it just a wonderful way to vent? Yes, the tears do come, but that also means that they are getting out of your body, which is usually a much needed event. Well, I loved it, I felt like I could have written this myself. Thanks... |

Talking to myself - my favorite pastime... keeps me (relatively) sane... |
