shouldn't I
be able to
try and cope
with things
my own way
not be yelled
at for crying
and having
nothing to say
shouldn't I
be able to
let my feelings fly
not told
to hold them in
without a
reason why

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
