A Poem

I write poems that go unread

Sometimes because I forget them before they escape my head

Other times I write them

But hide them instead

I hide them because who they are for

Leave me feeling unsure

I write for myself

I write for others

I write for those that get left on read

Because sometimes it is all in your head

And sometimes

You’re just not in the right place

Even when wonderment is staring in your face

I write

Because it is the last sense of control I have

As life spins ever faster

It feels like jumping from one disaster to another

The only comfort is not being alone at home
