Why I Write


To break the chains This world has bound to me Gone through all these pains But now is the time to be free To let the feelings go The anger, the hate, the sorrow The only things I know This is the new tomorrow To show the love Trapped behind the wall The love I wish to give Without having to fall To let the imagination soar And tell the stories in my heart That is all I ask for This, my one and only part To reveal the me Hidden within plain sight Begging you to not let this be Fighting with all my might

The Doctor

I love to write poems and short stories. My short stories are always dark, but so is my poetry. I am actually a very happy person, but I do get in my darker moods and that is when my best poems come out.
