You come to ask me why I write.
Because, it soothes internal fights.
To let off steam, to vent, and rant.
To say what, otherwise, I can’t.
So that my voice rings loud and clear.
Perhaps, even, beyond my years.
To lay my heart out on the table
To turn my life into a fable.
To give my fantasies a life
A pen, as strong as any knife.
When life throws everything it’s got
I write, and it’s all soon forgot.
So that my colors truly shine
In something that is wholly mine.
A thing concrete, that never fades
That will remain countless decades.
It’s an escape from everything.
Reality check, words too can bring.
To calm an everlasting storm
With words, arranged in any form
A poem, for a broken heart
A story, ideas to impart.
There’s songs to sing, books to create
The want to write will not abate.
At every plot twist, every tale,
I feel my soul rise and set sail.
To make the wildest dreams come true
The hopes of me, and even you.
To say what others wouldn’t dare
To phrase ideas I wish to share.
It’s an expression of myself
Shown in adventures of an elf.
Imagination’s all I need
As writings begin to take seed.
A paper, still clean, and so white,
Simply urging me to write.
There’s an adventure, hiding there
On that paper, now so bare.
But with a few strokes of a pen
I go somewhere I’ve never been.
So you still ask me why it’s so?
Because, I want the world to know.


Of the three poems I just posted, this is my favorite.

Oh, and I'm entering a poetry contest. Wish me luck.

I can't find anything to harp on this one. I've already done the other two. This one is perfect the way it is.
