illiteracy

when reading,
we have a tendency
to skip over words
we don't understand.
maybe that's why
we pretend not to notice
each other's pain.

I convert my late-night thoughts into poetry, using it as a source of journaling and self reflection. I am not a professional, but have a deep appreciation for words and how they can make us feel.
