Why I Write
I write because paper doesn't betray me
Friends and foes are all the same to me
I can use a pen for months before it runs out of ink
But friends go quicker than an eye's blink
Or so I think.. I always get the short end of the stick
The only thing left to do is express it with my Bic
I found that giving your all to mankind
Is a hell of a waste of my time
I used to try so hard to be the best friend I could be
But what I found out is that no one returned that favor to me
I'm not bitter don't misunderstand what I say
I'm just trying to testify why people go their separate way
I trust sparingly and believe only what I see
It is the only way I know someone is really there for me
To finally break down my walls for this person, I might
But until I get to that point..
This is why I write
