I don’t write to live

I live to write

Words flow from me give

My thoughts new light

No other form

Could myself express

The freedom I get

From writing.

My feelings, my thoughts,

My ideas, my dreams,

My needs so caught

In my silent screams

A medicine so powerful

No match could be made

The healing I get

From writing.

I write for me

The needs I make

To have sanity

When much is at stake

The words flowing freely

No more emptiness inside

Understanding takes new meaning

From writing.
