I Can't Stop
I can't stop writing,
pouring, flooding, spilling, leaking
onto this screen.
Getting the words out of my mouth through my fingertips,
not having to worry becuase we are all writers.
I can't stop singing,
belting, humming, releasing, crooning
to anyone and everyone.
Getting my emotions out by the mood of the song,
not having to worry because they are all singers.
I can't stop thinking,
wondering, pondering, figuring, searching
my mind for answers.
Getting my words out of my mouth through my fingertips,
not having to worry because nobody I know can actually hear me.
I can't stop writing,
or singing,
or thinking,
using my fingertips to get it all out of my mind,
off of my chest,
lifted from my shoulders.

Love the "not having to worry..." lines - I can identify with those thoughts to an extent. And the idea of getting your thoughts/personality across almost anonymously is quite attractive. And then in time this act of communication may bolster confidence to the extent that it leads to more assertive expression.
A very thoughtful and thought provoking poem - thanks.
