The ink of my words is all of me. The ink I use to write my poetry is my tears, my blood, my hurts. My pages are like my skin. the nib digs deeply as I write my history. My writings only tell my story,
or so I thought.
Words bring people down, sentences can bring them right back up. My stories can make someone cry, my poetry can cheer someone up.
It’s a unique thing, us writers have the ability to do. We use our words to unite, or to announce simply how we feel. And It’s a wonderful thing, but should never be used to hurt.
Because a lot of us use our writing to escape the pain, to confide in our own words, because we don’t know how to explain it.
A writer’s ink is simply who we are.
I love this because of it’s accuracy. I know I relate so much especially with “Because a lot of us use our writing to escape the pain, to confide in our own words, because we don’t know how to explain it.” Writing for me is more than just words on paper and I love that you addressed this. Thank you Grace for sharing this.
