Why I Write


As a freedom of expression

a headcase kind of lesson

taking back my identity

from every opposing entity

to rise above and go beyond

to push boundaries on and on

not to impress all the rest

but to press passed the stress

to liberate myself

and take others off the shelf

to give life to fantasy

and put a hardlight on reality

it's not for boasting, bragging, or glory

not just to entertain in a story

but to alleviate sorrow, suffering, and pain

to reach out and touch the insane

to breathe deep the universe

line on line, verse after verse

until I feel and you feel

and we both know it's real

and transcend the anonymity

and each reader is apart of me

a unity unbroken

continuity unspoken

til I bleed you and breathe you

and with my love imbrue you

until no one is singular

but all is one together
