Why I Write

I confess, I do not write every day,

But in the days I do, I remember why.

I started writing in twenty-ten,

there is nothing like putting paper and a pen.

so what I had to say, who would believe?

So, I began to write for my own right,

Over the years, through the hard times, breakups, heartaches, and fights,

I had words that would help heal.

Each time I broke, I wrote. 

Each day is a battle I must fight,

and so I write.
