Writing is Better Than Speaking

Writing,
that is what we do.
An author is to write,
but not to speak.
I write
so I won't speak.
I don't want to say
the words
that are in my brain.
All just leaking out.
No one
will look at me the same.
All the words in my brain.
I'm going insane.
I can't speak
who I am.
Who am I?
I'm just a girl,
with the mind of crazy.
I want to be free.
I need to feel alive.
I'm trapped in a body
that never was mine.
They put me meds,
won't leave me alone.
I'm not crazy,
I'm sane.
They can't change me
I'm just me.
They placed me
somewhere I shouldn't be.
I'm going crazy,
they won't let it stop.
Everything is closing in
while I'm standing in between.
Who let them do it,
all that I've become.
I'm just an experiment,
a lab rat at that.
Who is doing the test,
who is behind the curtain?
I must know,
I'm going insane.
I want to be sane.
Not a project,
but here I am,
yelling at nothing.

Thank you for your kind words.
Our poems say who we are and what we stand for. Our poems tell of our lives and who we value around us. Our poems set out our aspirations and ambitions. Our poems outline our beliefs and foundations.
Writing does the talking.
Great work !
Wishing you all the best ! :)
