do not be with a girl who writes

do not be with a girl who writes

she is committed to her memories,

focused on the old day’s highlights

craving for the time these thoughts will end because it felt like centuries,

hoping everything will be easy and breeze

do not be with a girl who writes

she has a narration on life before and after you

don’t blame her, she has all her cites

don’t worry, she can still describe the scent of your shampoo

but also the scent of the rain on january 1st

do not be with a girl who writes

she adores little moments even if it happened in your dream

she likes the way you say fahrenheit

but doesn’t know your favorite team, your favorite ice cream

a bit uncanny, but she did her best

do not be with a girl who writes

she wants to forget but she is strongly capable of reminiscing,

how she felt after a threat, after a fight

she was giving when she should have been kicking

she thought her armor would last longer

do not be with a girl who writes

she is struggling to survive,

and to stay awake to see the daylight

but don’t worry, she is alive

at least she looks alive

do not be with a girl who writes

she could stitch her wounds, mend her soul

instead she is writing this poem tonight

heart as red as the badge of courage, mind as black as coal

i am a girl who writes
