out of my mind

0 posted 2003-08-07 03:02 PM


why do i write?
it's simple.
I write because i have to.
the day i stop i'll forget who i am.
Poetry rings from my very soul.
it allows me to escape.
escape the sorrows, pain and headaches that is my life.
when i write i become someone.
those who read it feel me.
they have a window o my heart
for this is where the words eminate,
for writing is my heart
So why do i write?
I guess i write to live.
the day i stop writing is the day I stop...
Living.

Very well said. Sounds like something I've said many times...

It's hard to grow up and watch your friends remain in the same mindset that you left them in

Very good and very true.

Good poem,
