Why I Write

Writing is an expression of mind

Tells more a story than looking in my eyes

Subtle white lies preside in what you see

A voice of authority can stop time

Words can conquer, words can divide

They can give direction, guide, or be a sign 

to how powerful they are. 

This fact is testified by how words made light when it was dark.

Or should I say God spoke it like he did life to this heart?

Or should I say words show the type of character we have when they disembark?

But these words speak for themselves

If the mind is a limitless well

Then what else but the word being the water: down to the last droplet?

When I speak or become silent it reminds me of turning on or off a bathroom faucet

Just like the liquid can burn and be too hot or freezingly cold coming out the spout. 

So are whichever words you choose, but some can be "just the right temperature" when they come out.

Words can be positive or negative,

Start a gossip wildfire about what they say he did.

Like when a baby learns his/her first word it's tangible signs of intelligence.

So I write to portray I'm not a fool but to make a dummy out of a pessimist.

These words give life to the paper

Kind words are a defibrilator

The venomous tongue cuts like a razor

In a world where I'm not sure if we still have the freedom of speech, I write cause no one's standing 

over my shoulder with an eraser.

Freedom of creativity, freedom of expression

Freedom to put whatever I want in this composition.

Sometimes I'd rather write what I want to say cause hearing is selective.

I know I'm destined to impact this world with some truth.

If I was an orchard then wisdom is my fruit.

Eat of it and let these seeds take root.

After I'm long gone, yeah they'll be looking at the life I led,

But I WRITE cause my words will still be here when I'm dead.
