While some may write about their life
Wishing the facts we're more like fiction
Some draw off the lessons taught
Others with pieces missing

And then you have the happy clan
All good natured sages
Where they wine and dine on better times
Positively filling the pages

Either way it's okay with what they say
Not one write is wrong
Rain or shine each day riding the poetic wave
All strung along by the poem

From the simplest of words to those seldom heard
Whether you do or you don't rhyme
Comes packaged as the disease and also the cure
Darkness as well as the light

Some only write when they're down and empty
Filling the void with thoughts and words
Some when love is a-plenty
Begging those words to be heard

Either way it's okay with what they say
Not one write is wrong
Rain or shine each day riding the poetic wave
All strung along by the poem
