Why I Write
The reason why I write is simple and true
I write for myself, I never write for you
My words are my personality smeared across the page
You'll be dumbfounded in awe despite my young age
For when I write, I create new worlds
Candy cane forests, fit for little girls
Islands of solitude made for the lonely
A romantic limbo for lovers only
I dare you to try and copy true genius
Then paste it on a page as if your soul has no cleanness
The pencil is my gun, and with bullets of lead
I shoot through dullness, killing it dead
In the name of creativity, I resurrect it completely
Then color it with imagination ever so neatly
I write wantonly for one simple reason
To write otherwise would be poetic treason
