Why I Write
There's a voice inside my heart
And she's screaming at the top of her lungs
pick up the pen
get the notebook
sit at the computer
for God's sake
let me talk
She's trapped inside a cage
but she'll slip into my daydreams
and cause me to smile
Or she'll get in my tearducts
and get me to cry
But I need her too
She keeps me sane
keeps the anger and rage at bay
my tears become
her flowing river of words
when she takes over
we're both relieved
like the wave cresting
over
the
ocean
because we're
free
free
at last
