Why I write


A writing untensil with a pen and paper is a weapon of my inner peace.

Its the calmness the pencil leaves when the paper soaks up  feelings I weep.

The pencil's smoking, there's so much meaning to the exploited words that turns my # 2 to 3.

And yet I see that only I understand what writing really means to me.

How do I explain meditation?, Why I write with so much emphasis and punctuation is the "WOW" factor to the poems I achieve.

And yet others look at me like my scriptures are too much for them to read maybe because the feelings are not for them to see.

Why I write? Its my fight with words rather the brawl with knuckles. I  hope my daughter will inherit her inner peace along with me. Follow the School route like me, and know the true meaning of "YOLO" is not what others think.

Why I write is not an answer spoken easliy, but know my scriptures arent forgotten if they live through me.
