I don't write poems for some likes
Maybe I write poems to conquer the love of my life
I don't write poems that sound nice
They’re just some basic rhymes on feelings that run so wild

I don't write poems when I feel all right
I write them when I'm missing someone by my side
I don't write poems for my pride
I write poems ‘cause it's more a necessity
Than a way to fill some leisure time

I don't write poems to get famous
I write them because they tell my truth not because they're fabulous
I don't write poems to be popular
I just wanna be recognized by one, my one and only muse, my guiding star

I don't write poems to get rich
I write poems because I'm sick
I don't write poems for the men at the top of the pyramid
I write them for the sensitive ones, the crazy ones, the ones banished from society

I don't write poems to change the world
It's hard enough for me to change myself
I don't write poems to bring peace to this globe
I write them to find peace of mind

I write poems because just for a moment in time
I’d forget this empty place where I have to hide
I torture my mind with rhymes, easy ones, not too hard to find
Simple words I try to combine
Because it’s the only way to acquire meaning for a man who finds it hard to combine
The certainties of his heart with all the doubts in his mind
I wrote this poem as an introduction of my published collections of poems.
