Why I Write


I live to die, and die to live I sacrifice time, tears, sweat And I write My back hurts, fingers shot Crying, sighing, typing away And I write There’s pain, no gain Time to spend, Nothing in return, so I write To live, to laugh, to cry I write. And I write. Feelings, emotions, captured in time This is the work that I do
