Why do I write?


I write because it is freedom of emotions running wild from my mind to my finger tips. Why do I write, its because some people can not write for themselves. Why do I write it is because I can write for those who are not privileged to write for themselves. I write because everyday there is a child getting bullied either they dead from the harsh beating or cannot move because those few hits paralyzed them and put them in a chair for the rest of their life or killed themselves because they could not bare to go back to school or outside. Why do I write it is because everyone is unique and should be treated fairly. I write because I have been bullied a lot to. I write to encourage you to let go and let God cause you will have VICTORY at the end. I encourage you to press on and don't worry about those who pick on you because they are Jealous and they want to see you fail. I say this don't give into them, do not give them what they want. ONCE, you do this, Your name will be VICTORY.

Insperation4u, The message in your poem hits hard like the Hammer of Thor. You've exposed yourself with each word. Congratulate yourself for such an accomplishment for some of the most well-known world leaders today hide behind they political image. However, this poem reads somewhat like an essay. I encourage you to abandon structure for the time being and begin to write freely. Take your time when you write and develop your own, unique poetic flow. You can begin playing around with rhythm by rhyming very simple words at each period or comma you use. Also, reading poetry definitely assists in the development of style. After all, even Picasso believed that all great artists build off one another's work. After reader Jumping Over Hurdles, it cannot be clearer that you have a lot to say and the messages you present are anything, but shallow. Continue to write; continue to read; continue to speak! Genuinely, Hamza Yammout
