So why do I write?

What makes me write
What makes me want to share my sight
What in the hell puts me out there
It sometimes seems so unfair
What makes these wheels turn
What gives me writers burn
An itching to get every word right
Is it a talent unrelenting
Or just a blight
Or maybe its a curse
A doom Ill have live with
For all my life
Why do I verse
All that I observe
Cant I just go on normally through life
But Oh you havent heard
These incredible words
That describe they way I see things in this light
Yes its a curse
But one that gets me by
And I hope sometimes
My writing will fly
Its a plague on me I just cant kill
Its a crazy addiction
That constantly swells
Its like a nail in my tire
An inborn dreaded desire
Because it lays bare
The emotions that I tell
And people get to know me
Way too well
Well, I dont know why I do it
Im just constantly drawn to it
I cant even take a walk
And not see life that talks
And that life just inspires me
And makes me write poetry
Even if its lame it means something to me
Or something thats untamed
And labels me insane
As usual with all creativity
And scars me my whole life
Cause no one seems to understand me
So if this is a curse
I suppose it could be worse
So I guess Ill carry on
And let it be
And continue to write
Whatever strikes me

I write my words for no selfish reasons. It helps me alleviate my worries, and share my happiness.
Not insanity that makes us write, just a need.
Good write. Sue x |

Oh I love it!
"It’s a crazy addiction"
It most certainly is!
And I agree, it does seem like it's just a need to write. Without it, I don't know what I'd do...
It's a great thing though and you are wonderful at it!
Good write! |
