Why I Write
by David Smith December 1, 2018
Poetry writing to acknowledge how we feel
That is the joy, as our thoughts become real
To be in tune with the feeling
Capture that moment on the spot
That’s more important than all the logic we got
How we feel is more important than what we do
That rainbow of colour, let the emotion shine through
Anger is released and love is exposed
Feelings of hope and and enthusiasm grows
So let out the feeling and document the, “Why”
With the flick of a pen, the feelings we try
Acknowledge the emotion of why we’re afraid
Changing the thought patters, we will have it made
Know thyself, through emotions that hit
Find the trigger, and how to deal with it
Upfront and personal to get emotion written down
Or highly motivational to spread the optimism all around
Pick up a pen and let words flow like a river
Think of the emotion and let our knees quiver
Be in control and let thoughts capture life
Thinking success, we can overcome strife
Circumstances are temporary, and situations change
Explore the rainbow and feel the emotional range
That’s why we write to let tears hit the page
To laugh and to cry and get emotion engaged
The rainbow of feeling, a bridge we can bond
To communicate to others in words and in song
Poetry writing and let all feelings fly
That’s to have lived, the courage to try
