why I write

It simply goes to show That I write to express what I know, what I feel what I believe Its like a river running free breaking from the levee that contained it like a jar of fireflies And I am the light. When I imagine and speak and listen to what is within, I realize that the only way to be free is to break the metaphoric chains that drive me insane And then when I feel the world is closing in and the pain breaks within and my soul starts to spin...... I write I imagine I dream I feel. I AM FREE
