Writing

Poetry is an art
Writing is your passion
Words come from the heart
Your mind creates beauty

Your life you tell
Your story is written
Your thoughts you sell
Your dreams you have

Writing isn't just words
It isn't about perfection
You write to be heard
It isn't about praise

Emotions and pain is spilled
Love and hate is seen
Your life isn't fulfilled
You write about it all

It isn't about accolades
It isn't about being known
It isn't about perfect grades
It's about the inner soul

I write because I need to
Not because I'm bored
I write because it gets me through
Without it, I would have nothing

I am not a perfect man
I'm not an amazing writer
I'm not sure who I am
I just like to write

Ask yourself why do you write
What is the reason
What gets you through the night
That is what I think about

I'm just a kid in a small town
No one knows me at all
I am lost and never found
But yet I'm there in front of you

My life I have felt alone
I have had days without hope
Belief I had never known
Love I never had

Paper and pen create you
Your heart creates a story
Your gift you still need to prove
You still need to believe in you
