Why

May 31, 2013
To live lives that aren't mine To dream dreams that seem too hard To articulate when my tongue won't cooperate And my mind feels too slow To explore the unknown Both inside myself And in the outside world Pen on paper, skin, sidewalk, leaves Fingers on a keyboard, in paint, touching ink It doesn't matter how you do it It doesn't matter why because when you write You can change lives
