Why I Write

Poetry allows me to have a voice, when I am too afraid to speak.

I cannot say what is on my mind, my verbal skills are weak.

When I write I have no fears.

I don't fear judgement from my peers.

I can show the world I have a mind that differs from the crowd.

In poetry, my mind is art, and my masterpieces make me proud.

A poem can show an emotion, describe a feeling, tell a story,

I write because, through poetry, I can show the world who I can be.

I may not be a leader,

or a public speaker,

but I can still be heard,

through each and every word.

I write.
