The Reason I Write
The words I write
I write of my creator
I write of my blessings
I write of my failures
I write of my life.
What it all comes down to
Is as simple as drawing a line
I write because it’s healthy.
I write about my fears
I write about my worries.
I make it into a prayer-
Similar to David
In times of sadness or frustration
Or times of praise or thanksgiving
I sit down and pray
Pray for the events of each day
I sit and write so He has my full attention
When I choose to not write
That’s when I get distracted
My mind starts to worry
Rather than inscribing the words
Rather than focusing my mind on God.
I write about my blessings
My loved ones and pets
The steps I take
The people I meet
The breath I breathe
I write about my worries
Of this everyday life
Where time is taken for granted
And feelings are damaged
I write to my God
Whether in my head or on paper
I write because I know
I know that I’m not strong enough
To go through life alone.
