Why do I write?
Because it takes me to heights
Not of fright
But of flight
Even during the night

Why do I write?
Because it make me feel like a knight
In the on-going fight
Who makes it look bright

Why do I write?
Because my words I no longer bite
Or make them quite
But it makes me speak and bring sight
To those reading on the sheet so white
Held in their hands so tight

I write
To speak my mind
To inform
Reform
And be informed

I write to express
And not to oppress

I write to bring happiness
And a hint of sadness

But can you blame me
For all I do
Is write
