Why I Write

This is why I became a writer.

I write because God gave me a gift,

the gift to become a god,

for when I write I am a god.

A god of madness, a god of love.

A god of the world which I create

with the words I spill onto the page.

 

I write because I have to,

not for will or anything short of must.

I write to make sense

of that which makes no sense.

 

My pen is a sword

to slash the throats of my foes,

a weapon of destruction and woe.

Yet, in its power,

it is my lips against her lips,

and my hand touching her back.

I write to obtain the things I lack.

 

I write so that I don't bleed.

I pour my soul into each word I speak,

for if I had not done so all these years

I would have died long ago,

burried in a pool of tears.

 

I write because I love you, all of you,

although I cannot say it.

I write so one day

I may change that.

Author's Note

Just started Creative Writing 2 and this was the first poem I created in that class. I hope you like it, for I ment every word.

You put an honest idea of being a writer.It heard me true that pen is stronger than sword.No other weapon stands worth it.The creative realm it builds to roam our mind free in there, to somewhat explore flare for our fervent.It enables us to assess the mark of intellect inside us.Maybe, you cited true, everyone is god of his own pen, own world that nobody can intrude , if so then faces the brunt of our honesty pen.You enliven my day by composing such an instance of inspration.KEEP WRITING.

I know that this is only a well written poem but is it wrong that I teared up a bit reading this?
