Why I write
I write to shame all those who think I have no business in the English writing world.
I write to silence my battered ego that says I am good enough;like I haven't toiled.
I write because I have the right to.
Because my creator instilled in me the knowledge.
To let the world know my thoughts,
my emotions,
my longings,
my beliefs,
my inspirations
Because I have the right to.
I have the right to be heard.
I have the right to let the world know when I'm seared.
I have the right to voice my opinion when humanity seems to mean nothing to them;all but dead.
I have the right to let the world know what I desire.
I have that right to what keeps me up at night.
And I have the right to my principles just as they are this high(gesture)
I have the right to let the world know my stance against my values,
will not be overpowered by their ungodly views.
I have the right to let them know who I look up to and model my life after.
I have that right to whatever that person may be: it doesn't matter.
Be it a shrink,a pope,a farmer
They sure have no say in whoever I say is my mantra.
Because I am me.
And only me in this universe.
I write and write in English because I have a contribution to make.
I write in English because I deserve this reward for my own sake.
After learning a language which isn't mine.
And having the courage to go through that take.
I write because my battered ego shouldn't define me.
I write because it has no place anywhere that belongs to me.
I write to let that ego know that I may not be the best
But I sure do try my hardest and that,.....that shows.
And so to all this I will forever write.
Will forever prove everything wrong to say I'm bright.
Untill all these personal demons of fright,
Have all.....been of heist.
