Why I write, to set myself free.
The voices all scream down on me,
they are all screaming my name in agony.
This is why I write to release me,
to set my soul free of thee.
Their voices begin to shout louder,
so I begin to write faster.
next thing I know one voice calls out my name,
the voice says ''please Vanessa forgive me.''
Then I say you call out in vain,
for I've already forgiven thee.
Then the voice says thank you,
for I've always loved you.
Then I say ''then why did you do it?, to make me cry.
No I know why, you did it to kill my soul,
and to kill me slowly until I had died.
So now I tell the voice this is why I write,
to release my soul of you, towards the heaven and the sky.
