Why I Write

I write to be heard

no one listens and that's absurd.

It tears me up on the inside

words that dont get to go along for the ride.

The words that go unwritten because they are shy

those words never make it to the sky.

I can't tell you how I feel with a paintbrush, instrument,  or a band

but I can tell it how it is with a pencil in my hand.

It's fun to bring life to a blank page

to change everything from beige.

So I'll go dying with my words written out

to show the world what I've thought or shout.

So now I hope you see the freedom writing brings,

to give words flight

and that's why I write.
