To Write or Not To Write

I hold the pen, ready to write my words.

The weight of it, a comfort to my hand.

I mark the paper, it takes flight like birds,

-The thoughts flow and seem to never end.

I write faster, trying to catch each thought.

Not knowing which one might try to escape.

Word after word, I rejoice as they’re caught.

– And the verses begin to take shape.

With each line, my breath catches in my chest,

Excitement increasing inside me.

I am here, in my depth, writing my best.

-The caress of success, it calms me.

To write or not to write, not a question.

Writing, is to me, the only option.
