That's Why


Negativity creeping all around 

Fighting, crying, screaming.

Some escape though music,

Some through tears,

And if you're like me,

Through poetry.

Why do I write?

Sometimes there's no one else to tell

No one wants to see you sad

It feels as if most don't understand.

Why do I write?

There are words that emotions

Can't always express.

Rhyming and similes make more sense

Than tear drops.
