Writing
Is like an emotional prosthetic
For me
Sometimes I can barely feel something
When I just get a small sense
Of the feeling
But don’t feel it fully
I write to allow the emotion to flow
It gives life to the feeling
Otherwise I feel trapped inside
Empty
And devoid of self
I feel it
Ever so subtly
Then I write
And then I write to develop
and express
the feeling
To allow it
To exist
It passes through
My fingertips
And the electric message
On the screen
Somehow makes
My feelings real
