Why Do I Write?

Why do I write?

For fortune and fame?

So, you’ll remember my name?

No.

Why do I write?

Because I can?

I’m a talented man?

No.

Why do I write?

To look cool?

Another misguided fool?

No.

Why do I write?

I do it for me.

Because it sets me free.

I write what I feel,

To me it’s so real.

Without it: I could not survive

With it: I thrive.

I write to say “I made this”,

A feeling of pure bliss.

Why do I write?

I do it for me.
