WORD NERDS: this is NOT your nanay's blog

I write unsent letters
In hopes of peace
Divulging truths
In whispered secrets
Purging emotions
In scattered ramblings

I write love poems
In hopes of happiness
Professing dreams
In flustered proclamations
Capturing heartbeats
In ribbons of imagery

I write journal entries
In hopes of love
Confessing fears
In tear-streaked pages
Releasing silence
In an explosion of words

I write
In hopes of finding
That one poem
Freeing my heart
In verbs and adjectives
Liberating my mind
In one stanza or lyric

I write.
