I write Poetry to express myself Hello guys, I am a CS major and I started writing poetry to express myself and it feels nice. I don't write so well but its good. All my life I've struggled to express myself. To share with y'all here's a piece:- "Why do you write?" she asked me, "To express myself," I answered, Stumbling over my words, Maybe this is why I don’t believe in God. I write because speaking is hard for me, Like a rope around my neck. I write so others can hear me, Even those who laugh at my stutter. "I write to be myself," I said. "Why are you so good?" she wondered. Any tips for improving will be appreciated and if you guys want to read more you can visit my insta page "heartfelt_nonsense_".
