I Write, but Why?
The reason I write is familiar to all,
to make bitter words sweet as I last recall.
I write when I feel I am about to descend,
the burning steps of hell to join Hades' friends.
But I do admit to this joyful tingling,
when I sit and draft out all that I'm feeling.
I often write about nature's many wonders,
like mountain peaks and rocks that creatures live under.
I admit I am young and hormones take me for a ride,
but sometimes the ride gets tough and there are feelings i can't hide.
I write to convey messages through riddles and rhymes,
for people who point dirty fingers and accuse me of various crimes.
I am new to writing and as writing is to me,
but poems and I,
we're best friends because they make me content and happy.
Now the question is "Why would I not write?"
