Why I Write

To write and to express

To visualize and verbalize

To create in one’s head an image that perfectly exemplifies the feelings inside

Bliss

My bliss, to share, to hold, to create, to express

Each place I go

Each feeling i feel

Each time i wish

I can get funky

I can get calm

I can get creative

I can get passionate

I can get loud

My brain does it all,

my fingers carry out the work

One after the other

Or miles and months apart

To keep forever

Or to share and spread

To scream it out

Or to whisper slow

To rhyme and sing

Or to say and yell

To teach and share

Or to think and feel

My poems, from me, my brain

My poems from my experiences

My poems from my heart

My soul, me

No comparison

No judgment

My style, my way, my words

Influences, inspirations, irritations

Deeper thoughts

Surface ideas to dive into

To smile about

To reflect about

To think about

To share about

For me for you you them and them too

More to come

More to feel

Something to bring with me

Something to give away

Something to help

Something to soothe

Something for me

And something for you

To learn from

To realize something new

To write to is to be free inside of yourself

With no restrictions

No barriers

No one saying no

No one asking why

To feel and to be free at the root of you

To open every door and every window

To lift off the roof and tear down the walls

Of the house that is you

A foundation to stand strongly upon

And let the pages fly

Free to the ends of the sky

That’s why i write
