What is it?

About what I went through in earlier times

That makes me want to write about them

With a flowing rhythm in rhyme

Why is it?

The focus always seems to be about negativity

And the painful pitfalls of our society

Of moral injusticies encountered by me that are a crime

How is it?

I remember the times that were good

But, so often feeling sad, only write about times that were bad

I could write happier, however, my lousy life is far from sublime

The leading lessons that I have learned

Are those from when life has left me burned

Poetry is a release that gives my mind peace

Making hiking up lifes hill, not such a lonely climb

So... Happy or not, that is why I write poetry a lot

And for it, I do not expect to earn a dime
