When I write, I’m in control

When I write, the words are my sword

When I write, my heart opens up

When I write...

 

Then writers block hits

My fingers stop typing

The screen blurs

My mind wanders

But when I read

 

When I read, I’m in control

When I read, the words are my magic carpet

When I read, the world presents itself

When I read...

 

The words flow

I settle into a rhythm

My body relaxes

My breathing slows

But when I read poetry

 

I am transported to a new level

My heart sings

My eyes eagerly capture the words

Forming them into meaning

 

 

When I write, my soul is happy

 

When I read, I smile
