The moment that lives in between when I have a thought or a feeling and when I grab the pen to write is when I feel the most alive.

It lasts for only a few seconds but I wish that feeling would last forever. Thankfully those few seconds are enough to get me through the day.

Once I put pen to paper and then type and post, the poem becomes yours. I wrote it, but it doesn’t belong to me

It’s because in this space I feel safe and I trust you with my words.
