I guess you could say...


I guess you could say,

"I write, therefore I am."

I eat to feel nourished

I speak to be heard

I listen to know the truth

 

But in writing I am changed

I feel free

I feel like me

I feel like the birds soaring high above the trees

But in writing I am changed

 

Questions 

I can hear them 

Questions 

They float around my head 

Like fireflies in the night 

As I lay upon my bed

 

Questions 

Why this?

Questions

Why now?

Questons

 

Answers

Answers I do not know

Answers I can only feel 

Answers I ask God about 

When before when before him I do kneel

 

These answers come in whispers 

In feelings

In shivers

These answers come like rainfall 

In droplets 

In mist

 

You see, I cannot quite explain 

The reason that I write 

All I know is when I do 

I am me

And I'm alright
