I wanna write

I wanna write symphonies that put you on the edge of your seat

I wanna write sonatas that make you cry
and solos that make you shiver

I wanna write poems that make you speechless

I wanna write essays that make you think beyond your world
and stories that take you to faraway lands

I wanna write speeches that make you stand up and cheer
and letters that make you wish you were here

I wanna tell the world what i have to say before this spark turns into a flame and burns me to pieces

but i can't, i'm chained to the ground with a
ball of lead called judgement
and what I write never leaves my computer or my mind
because of fear


fear of what?
i'm too afraid to find out.

Frustration inspired me, hopefully this will inspire you to do what I can't.

The poem is mistitled, that was for a different one and I forgot to delete it. This one is really called I Wanna Write.
