I write poetry like Taylor Swift writes songs

Published by

Like therapy 

I do it so I can sleep at night 

It’s a raw energy 

That would kill me if it stayed inside 

I’m not crazy 

At least the way you think 

It haunts me 

Like PTSD 

It’s like throwing up

I have to get it out 

GET IT OUT 

The pain of what could have been 

It should have been something 

No one could know how much I can’t control my anger 

You would be surprised by my calm demeanor 

How my anxiety eats me alive 

And I want more than anything to be famous

But I see one of the greatest storytellers dragged through the dirt because she shares her writing with the world 

All her secrets out in the open 

If she didn’t write her stories everyone else would 

It should scare me but it doesn’t

I want to be something great 

But all people do is look at our battle scars and blame us

 So I write my poetry and hide it

M.A.P
