To Hear Myself

I write to hear myself.
I don't listen to words;
I listen to paper.
Nothing hurts as bad on paper...
 
I write to my best friend. 
He couldn't say how he felt;
So he is dead.
Secrets are kept by paper...
 
I write to save myself. 
Negativity is cancer;
If it dwells inside of me I will die.
Cancer doesn't spread on paper...
 
I wrote to keep myself happy.
Life is easy to love; 
I won't die from my own hand.
I don't get scars from paper...
