Any Sane Way

I don't think there is any sane way for people to understand me, so I opt toward insane and put my heart to paper. I write to explain and explore myself, I write for me as much as I write for the people I may not even know yet. I write to do things over, to take things back.
I write to do the things I can't, to cherish the people I  lost, to cherish the people I am afraid to pull in close lest I be rejected.
I write because for just a minute at a time I can live and breathe a dream, I can share that dream and let new eyes see it.
I write because I am finite and afraid; words are the closest we have to immortality. So I will admit my bare humanity through this, because my mind would live on in ink to inspire in spirit as others have done for me, and in the tapestry of literature, I will have my thread.
