Why I Write

I often forget why it is

That I write.

It's not for potential fame

Nor to prove my "talent"

 

I believe I write

To release unwanted thought

and bid farewell to

Emotion.

 

It's wondrous.

How the ink of my pen

turns into that of an endless

River.

 

The words flow

onto the page.

My sorrow pouring out

With them.

 

As my magic river slows,

drowning and washing away the

Pain, I let in

Happiness and clarity.
