Why I Write


I Must Write

It doesn't take much effort,
My thoughts are always there,
For me, it helps to write them,
Whether poetry or prayer.


The words express my daily life,
The pain I sometimes feel,
Putting it in writing,
Is the way I start to heal.


I write to tell a story,
Of my travels far and wide,
Of sharing different cultures,
All differences put aside.


When I cannot find the words,
To speak to someone dear,
Sometimes I take a pen in hand,
Writing what they want to hear.


I write poems for everyone,
It's always been that way,
For occasions sad and happy,
Or just an ordinary day.


Writing helps my sanity,
As we live upon this earth,
I've been jotting chronicles,
Almost since my birth!
