Why We Write

Chapter 1
Why We Write

Everyone feels inconspicuous,
just one among many,
but every once in a while
a person feels something more,
an instinct which burns
in lifelong desire.

Reckless

I am reckless
in my life.
The rush of each thrill
burns brightly,
searing me in a desire
for distraction
as a desperate attempt
to feel something.
