I used to love to write. I started with wanting to write hip hop lyrics. But never happened. It ended up being love poems. That was all I could write. In therapy they wanted my to try writing again. And I did not want to write love poems. Thinking about that makes me get worse already. But I wanted to share one I wrote not that long ago. The title was an album name from one of my favorite groups growing up.

Fear emptiness despair

Born into this new world, so many chances to grow
So very young with a smile and happiness so near
Maturing into a man my mind had a different idea though
Learning experiences ever darker filled with doubt and fear

Tainted I went from boy to early adulthood
Avoiding people around me but longing for that one caress
With the voice within whispering you don’t matter I felt misunderstood
The void gripped me ever tighter and left nothing but emptiness

Dreams and hopes fleeting away as I approach middle age
Where every thought and emotion triggers a dim dark nightmare
Unwittingly depriving myself of joy I end up living with rage
Until there is nothing left but fear, emptiness and despair

Unsure of where the road ahead will lead me
Its time to take the reins and replace the dark with love and empathy

That was beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. You really can write - especially as that wasn’t in your native tongue.
