So why do I write?

I am not a poet,

but I write a

lot of poetry.

 

So why do I write?

I write to

show my

point of view.

 

So why do I write?

Sometimes it's to

feel like I have

a small amount

of control.

 

So why do I write?

I write what

I feel.

 

So why do I write?

In hopes to

inspire even one

person, somewhere.

 

So why do I write?

To release the

built up energy,

be it saddness,

anger or silliness.

 

So why do I write?

Even if the criticism

is mean. I just

stick out my tongue

and say f- - k you!

 

So that's why I write.

So why do I write?

It's so I can send a well done comment to you!

I can picture you in the back of the classroom sticking out your tongue making me laugh then I end up getting told off from the teacher for not doing my work!

My punishment is to do a thousand lines

To write and not laugh is what I must do
To write and not laugh is what I must do
