Why write...
because your head over flows
momentary thoughts
that meet at one junction
to create an expression.
Why write...
becuase no matter how much your mind
attempts to ignore
that you have a gift
your fingers will walk
and the words will spill
out helplessly with undeniable
mind and matter of their own...

"There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul..."
a-alibaster

"I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less,
I am tears of pain, tears of Death.

YES! YES! THEY WILL!
I'm a slave to it these days.
Great work and expression, Affy. I loved it.

We write, we live.
Good words, Ali.

ali, you've discovered the essence of why we write in these few lines, especially  in these words:
because no matter how much your mind
attempts to ignore
that you have a gift
your fingers will walk
and the words will spill
out helplessly with undeniable
mind and matter of their own...
Well done
Kethry
