When I Write


Nobody is a Stranger, When you can write a story that turns that man with the scarred face, into a hero of war, when you can turn that angry scowling fellow, into somewone that is poor. When you pick up your pen, Anybody can become worthy of the name, 'friend'. Writing can turn even the littlest sounds you hear, into a magnificent tale thast to peoples' eyes bring tears. Rather than trying to ignore the world, you can express your feelings through writing that shines like pearls.. Through Poems people can taste things they've never tasted or cannot eat, they can taste all the wines they want to and not get wasted or eat weird things like chocolate covered fish or soup that is sweet. Through poetry you can smell all you ever wanted or dared to You can go on an epic quest to smell the best pizza in the nation You could come up with millions of possible smells that exsist on the moon thats all possible through your imagination! Most importantly, through poetry you can feel, anything and everything whether or not it is real. You can feel a nearby or distant lover's face, feelings you can embrace. You can hold the world or push it forward so it matches your pace. Through the pen, anything you want can become a reality, any bad day can become much better, when you grab a bit of faith, pen, and paper- actuality can become so much better.
