Why I Write
So much built up, no one to talk to, no one to listen.
Pen in my hand, maybe this paper will.
8.5" x 11", no emotions, no feelings, yet I feel as though it understand me truly.
When I'm writing its like I'm on a road alone, no traffic, no cars, easy street.
Nobody understands me, they think I'm in a world of my own.
They ask me all the time what do I get out of it, why do I write.
I write when my mind is cluttered, when I feel like I'm alone and I cant understand the world around me.
I write like its all I know, I pick up my pen and I go. Where? I go home.
Home is where the heart is right? My heart is wrapped up in poetry.
I write. I write like I'm addicted. Like its all I know.
Cause even when there's no one there my pen and paper will be.
I'll surely have some things to say. I write that's what I do.
