I Write Because I Can
Why do runners run?
Why do singers sing?
Because they can.
A talent is a talent only if it is shared.
I never thought I’d spit out my thoughts.
I never thought anyone would care.
The past has shaped the woman I’ve become.
It tells the stories,
Of the pains and lessons of being young.
If I could run I’d run and if I could sing I would sing.
But when I put a pen to paper,
I finally feel the movement in my wings.
Maybe it’s because I’m good and it makes me feel strong.
Writing let’s me tell my story.
It assures me I am not wrong.
So why do I write? You tell me.
It’s the same exact reason as why you read,
Because you can.
