Because I Have To
Location
We live in a world where there’s so much hardship, pain, and suffering
We live in a world where there’s you and me but there’s hardly ever we
And when there is it’s because we’re fighting against an enemy
We live in a world where love is misunderstood
Where it’s masked by imitations that are merely limitations
To what?
What is unconditional and never ending
Inexplicable and always mending
The bonds
The bonds that life creates to hold us together
Despite all the obstacles placed in front of us
We are only as happy as we allow ourselves to be
But the world we live in is simply a reflection of
Me
Of you
Of we
We must fix ourselves internally
In order to fix ourselves externally
Why do I write?
Because there are stories that need to be told
With a message that is beyond bold
Voices of those with their tongues ripped out that need to be heard
Because their words were labeled absurd
My mouth is their only outlet
My words are my only weapon
I write because I have to
