I write

A SHORT poem of the obvious, writing.

I write.

Because I can

Because I like to

Because I love to

Because I want to

Because it's my gift.

 

I write.

 

To express love

To express joy

To express grief

To express confusion

To express my truth.

 

I write.

 

So you will listen

So you will think

So you will feel

So you will see

So you will taste a life.

 

What do you do?

Author's Note

Nothing serious. Just felt a need to express myself. It's quick!

I think writing is the finest way of transferring our thoughts to many hundreds or thousands of people worldwide,if we went in to a library then there are just the books for us to read but these books worldwide would not receive the attention that our powerful comments can create in just a few minutes.
The power of the mind and the internet is a wonderful marriage and one in which can only blossom inviting the world to commute from shorter distances as we arrive and chat to one another under one roof from many world destinations.
Your words are very profound and deeply infectious i for one empathise with the writer here.

So you will feel
So you will see
So you will taste a life.
What do you do?

Very well said indeed~ I think it's important to write feelings down and create
a thought/idea into poetry /stories what have you~ and hope someone will
feel the passion in your words,readers often forget what you write but they don't
forget the way you made them feel, so I have heard~

I write; because I have to express myself!

Thanks for sharing

Some times it is in simplicity that we find the profundity that is often lacking in complexity. And I can assure you that the question, "what do you do?" is a lot more profound than you can imagine, especially if you have to answer it.
