Why do I write poems?
An escape from the world,
The reality of the living,
To speak the heard and the unheard.

Why do I write poems?
A long lost friend,
Who stayed by my side,
From the beginning till the end.

Why do I write poems?
Faithful and trustworthy,
Keeping all my secrets,
Side by side with me on my journey.

Why do I write poems?
Love and joy, pain and agony,
What other best way,
To reveal this volcano within me.

So why don't you write poems?
Afraid the world will see you too?
Fear of the freedom it upholds?
Alas! nothing but pity for you.
