Why I Write

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
