Why I write
Why I Write
I write for fear of being broke
Ineligible to grow
Being static in the dead sea as a shrub,
Trying my hardest to spread my roots
I want to be known not as a shrub,
But as something unfathomable
Imagine every detail of a leaf, without the use of a frame
So I plead you to refrain from grabbing your phone
Hone on your skills of imagination
And just write yourself to the top
Without words there is nothing
No emotions
No future
No communication
No music
And certainly no ideas
So allow your feelings to flow through pen and paper
To turn the shrub into a vibrant weeping willow
A tall standing tree free to express any idea
Just like the leaves that are displayed for you
That is why I write
