Sanity
Why do i write?
That is a very good question
It all started in sixth grade when it was just my rhymebook and my diary
I always wanted to make music and poetry help expressed the darker side of me
But can a shadow exist without light
Is the moon just the sun of the night
Not only rhyming but I wrote expressing feelings that i never felt before
See sixth grade is when i got close to her
Seventh grade I fell in love but we was too young
She loved me too but wasn't in love so everyone i shunned and into my notebook i wrote my heart and spilled my tears i masked the pain and conquered fears
Away i went as eighth grade i moved
Depression came and haunted me till June
Eighth grade was the darkest of all
I wrote novels of poems and then on a hot stove they should fall
I used to write love poems at night then walk to the park
Stare at the stars burn the poem then drop it in the pond
Freshmen year I dropped love and wrote about school and weed
Sex and drugs and how they do and dont apply to me
Sophomore year i stopped writing completely
I had to tell my inspiration how i felt to complete me
I told her and then came the bad news
Instead of picking me my best friend was who she chose
Poetry became an addiction
Became a mix of Poe and Frost but no Hughes didnt go missing
See junior year came and i applied for many jobs
No call backs or nothing so considered selling drugs and going and and robbing
And now we are here with the question left unanswered and its driving me insane
Maybe the answer is i write poetry because it helps keep me sane..
