I Write Because...

I write because it feels like freedom

It's like I'm the Queen of my own kingdom

Writing seems to give me a chance to stray

From all the madness I've dealt with today

I write because I'm internally screaming

And athough I'm just average at public speaking

When I'm writing I'm louder than Dr. King rhyming about dreaming

More boisterous than Malcolm X's teachings and preaching

I write because it helped me find my smile and maybe one day it might go out of style

But until then I'll be one pen to paper fiending child

With lyrics, rhymes, and versuses to continue for miles

So you ask me why I write and I'll tell you each and every time

I write because it's like healing to the spirit, soul, and mind

I don't do it for the light even if its lime

I write for no one else's sake but mine
