I don't write much anymore. I should. I feel everything so deeply that it burns. My emotions are brutal. My mind races. I think constantly. I can't sleep. I can't escape the thoughts swarming my mind. When I write I find peace. I don't write much anymore but I should because I need to find… Continue reading To write it makes it real
