TO WRITE IS TO EXPRESS TO NOT WRITE IS TO SUPPRESS
I don’t know why I came up with such an astounding title but that’s the motto I really believe in. The idea cannot equate with everyone. Those who believe in expressing themselves by talking can do it without putting on the hard work and focus required for writing. But if you are an introvert like me, writing is where you find solace.
A lot of thought churns into the mind whenever I come across a person or situation but I never choose to express it. The reason being the large groups does not resonate with me. I am not dumb. It’s just I believe in one at a time and person-to-person conversation so that I can observe the feelings and reaction of the person to a certain statement or idea made by them.
The observation should not be understood as an urge to control the situation to which one can manipulate according to his/her need or ideas. Rather it should be construed in terms of respect and attention to the deliverance o the person sitting beside you and engaging in meaningful conversation. However, leisure to engage in such idealistic conversation does not last long and is rare in nature. So the resort or you can say the only resort an introvert is left with is the writing, at least for me because I suck at singing and painting.
Be it with flair or without the flair of a blank paper, that’s the place where we can cry out our heart loud. Some might write it as screenplay, story or simple day to day journaling. I chose a few like blogging, diary writing, and yeah, the first and foremost love is writing poems.
Simple beautiful and honest poem. Sometimes they rhyme, and sometimes they do not but one thing I can promise for sure is that’s the plain ground where I run freely, laugh, cry, and truly express myself. Poetry is the way I live and that’s how I choose not to suppress myself.
