I write to relieve the pressure of
emotions and energy building up inside
of me that demand to be released

I write because I have no other
Creative outlet to express the outer
Cosmos which reflects itself inside of me        

I write because I cannot paint or sing
Or build things with my hands, have
Scholastic intelligence or a skilled trade  

I write because I am too self-conscious
To let others see who I really am and  
I’m afraid of intimate relationships  

I write for the enjoyment of writing,
For the play of words, imagery and for
The art of communication that comes forth

I write because I need to record my
Observations and the learning experiences
I receive in communing with Nature  

I write when I don’t feel like working
And doing my chores and taking
Action toward responsibilities in life      

I write when I am wishing I were
On a far away island soaking up the
Sun and riding the ocean’s  waves  

I write so you can connect to me
And so that I may leave an impression
After I am no longer in existence
