If your not sure whether the risk is worth taking, it's not worth the risk at all.


Writing is dangerous
Whether you write your feelings
unveiling what is closest to your heart
Or if you share an opinion
striving to change the Old Ways

One way or another
you will be caught you will be punished
At least that's what society says
when they read your innermost thoughts

The ink that makes a stroke
The strokes that becomes a word
The words that form a thought
The thoughts that get you in trouble

But then again
Isn't that what writers do?
They take a walk on the wild side?
Sure am glad I'm not afraid of danger

This was for a prompt called a mile in ink... and its somewhate based off my own experience writing, and slightly about opression/ censorship in a way. (:
