I write not

I write not because i seek your truth,
i just do - for someone who seeks
understanding in all the doors we see.

I write not because i seek your pity,
i just do - for someone who seeks
understanding in all tough roads we
go through.

I write not because this is a job,
i just do - for someone who seeks
relief to the burden he has not
spoken out loud.

[Coyote Poetry]

Great writer wrote. Us, who love to write, we want to create a smile, maybe some sadness and make the reader ponder and think. Hemingway wrote. Great writers bleed to paper. Thank you Pax for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Some may perhaps write for money, fame or for the sake of asserting their intellect or capacity to write. But there are those who write because they need to see a tangible representation of or an outlet for the unheard voices screaming inside their heads.

we are the voices for those who have no way to have their voices heard. We have purpose.
exactly...love this piece, Pax.

You write because you could not do otherwise--just the rest of us scribbling slaves.
Perceptive write, Pax!

True! Reading others' writes and finding them relatable often takes off a lot of pressure from our minds, gives us relief. We feel like someone else expressed our feelings in their own write for us, thats one of the greatest feeling one can ever get. Thank you for sharing!
