They ask me why i started writing......

they ask me what inspired me to write my feelings down so poetically it's almost a song for those who've felt the same things to hear and I tell them...I started writing when I no longer had the strength in my vocal chords to speak...I started writing when the silence of all the losses I endured became to heavy to deal with...I was inspired by the heart breaks...by the men who laid me down and left me there to pick myself off the dirty ground I consented to lay on...why poetry? why not stories or books? because my poems are the chest holding my metaphors that stories and books couldn't keep under lock and key I was never a blatant straight-out person I like disguising things as something that can be more painful or beautiful I can describe a heart break like a frozen lake thawing on the first day of spring or the end of a relationship as the setting sun being watched on the shoreline of a beach or a suicide as an angel being asked to go back to heaven to be in God's loving arms or an inevitable death like an ant having no control of the falling rain that will crush his whole family no story I could ever write could ever compare to my poetry my poetry is me my experiences my heart aches left for the world to read it is my life in a playful use of words I am and will always be TheBrokenSpectacle
