You write about what you see.

You write about what could be, what should be.

You write to narrate others’  lives.

You write in order to survive.

You write because you feel oppressed, depressed.

You write because you’re mad.

You write because you feel the strength
when the pen is in your hand.

You write because the words sound smoother
then when they come from your mouth.

You write because you hear the music
and have to find the words.

You write because you see the beauty
in everything on Earth.

You write because you see the story
when you look in someone’s eyes.

You write because quantifying your thoughts
can be too hard to do in your head.

You write because you love the feeling
of the weight off of your chest.

You write because there’s no other channel
for which your passion you can express.

You write because there’s nothing better
than letting your voice be heard.

You write because without that voice
your life would be obscured.
The many reasons why i/we write.

I laugh to hide the pain
laugh to hide the shame
that I bring on others
and leave them in the rain.

I always do.

Im the one to blame
for the pain
I put on them.

My friends,
they'll never know or understand
or think I am playing a game
but you see,
I wish I was.

Gone away
far away
don't understand,
why you had to leave me.

I wonder,
everyday,
if maybe, you're not that far away.

If you're listening,
in heaven,
i want you to know,
i didn't want you to go.

So tell me,
do angels cry?
do they ever wonder why, they died?
do they cry?
No effort.

I wish I was strong like I used to be

Before hurt and pain weakened me

Then this wouldn't hurt so much

All I need is your gentle touch

You know who you are and what I mean

You know that you are.. a part of my dream.

Here I am free,
It's my light so I can see.
Life itself would be pointless,
Hours would be endless.
I'd constantly cry,
My face would never be dry.

You aren't me,
My life is not a cup of tea.
It's and endless fight,
Freedom is a far height.

Writing is my safe place,
Unlike your unwelcoming face.
You are insane to assume,
It's an unhealthy fume.
Nothings out of my reach,
You've got nothing to teach.

So stay away,
This is how I deal with everyday.
I don't need your hand,
I've got open lands.

I write to create
In the world’s massive novel
A page of my own

No poetic price,
Do these words of mine posses.
They are just my life.
