Why does this make me feel better?
Simply the act of my swaying hand forming English words?
Even if I simply ramble and say nothing, just as I am doing now, my state of mind improves
I could write “I am a horrible failure in life” or “Everyone hates me” and I still feel good while I’m doing it
Why?
I’m not expressing deep, inner thoughts
I’m not discovering a long-lost part of myself
I’m not penning the next coming of age novel
Then what the hell am I doing?
All I know is that I haven’t said anything, but I continue to write
That must say something, anything
And just as quickly as my drive to write begins, it suddenly ends before I can even finish the.
