I got asked today "Why writing?"

"What are you going to do with that?"

Without a chance to answer I went

within myself and asked myself those

same questions.



I figured out why and here's what as well.



I want want to be a writer and a professor

so that I can shape people's minds into a

mold of clay so mushy and shapeless into

something that will enable them to turn into

anything they want. I want to write lines

that keep people on the edge of their seat

waiting to read the next line only to realize that

they are on the last line of the final stanza.

I want my students to read my poetry and

say "wow this professor really knows his stuff"



I want to be able to gain so much knowledge

from my education that I will make minds tremble

like earth quakes to create grand canyons within their

undeveloped minds. I want to impact the world and

leave something for it to learn from. Not just by those

who are going to remember me but remembered by

a piece of paper that other professors tell their students

"write a critique on this and bring it in on monday."



Don't you go telling me that "I'm wrong" that "I'm wasting my

time" because at least I know where I'm going

and what kind of mark on the page I want to leave behind.

I tell you now all those that doubt that I'm going

to get there. I will and all I have to do is show you.

And all you have to do is believe in me, trust me,

encourage me but do not put me down because you

wait and see that I will become the man of my dreams

because he's someone who's going to be someone you

lean on to care for you and read when you're having a

terrible day.



I tell my fingers to type and they type

I tell my fingers to write and they write

I tell my fingers to wrap themselves around

a writing utensil so they can create worlds

of envy, of anger, of a beautiful existence

that will make people cry.



Now let me ask you.

What will you do with your life.

Who are you going to teach and

why are you into what you're into?!?

ANSWER ME THIS AND DO NOT RUNAWAY BEFORE I ANSWER. YOU COWARD.

YOU with your double standards. Why do YOU

want to teach? why aren't YOU doing what you've

always dreamed of? Just cause of insecurities. Hmph.

such a weak person and quick to influence.

At least I know. oh I know and i'll show the world

that I can do whatever it is what i want in the world.
