Katie B.

Compelled

I write because my mind overflows

Words spill out onto paper in pieces

A puzzle of sorts, binding them

Joining words together gratifies

Meaning derived at puzzles completion

Poetry speaks of darkness, light

The mundane, nature, love

Driven to write

Passion exudes

Ironically, I struggle to find

Words to express

The significance of

Poetry in my life

My confidant

My therapy

Ecstasy

Words follow me

I follow them

The power of the written word

Compels

I write

I have no other choice
