I am writing
because.

Because they told
me poetry was beauty not
pain.

Because they called
it rot and poison. unfit for
eyes.

Because they named
it disgraceful without a real
chance.

Because they took
my words and locked them away from
me.

Because maybe
if I drown you in my ink it
will stop my own gasping for
air.
