I Write

I write

I write for the words that cannot be said
I write for the love that cannot be shed
I write for the thoughts that escape my head
I write for the time before I'm dead

I write for the need to be heard
I write for the sense in the absurd
I write for the things that have occurred
I write for the clarity when I'm unsure

I write for the right to write what's right
I write for the might to win every fight
I write for the insight and the bulb to light
I write for the quiet and loud alike

I write for the life I've lived
I write for the readers to read
I write for the words to weep
I write for the praises to please

I write for the fame and fans
I write for the gazers to glance
I write for the naysayers and nance
I write for the hope by chance

I write for those who cannot write for themselves
I write for those who wish to escape from their hells
I write for those who have nothing to fear
I write for those who have ones they hold dear

I write because I do
I write because I'm a fool
I write because I have the tools
I write because I want to be cool

I write when I can
I write when I can't
I write when I want
I write when I flaunt

I write to quell the rage
I write to fill the page
I write to escape the cage
I write to become my age

I write for me
I write like it's the blood I bleed
I write for truth
I write no matter how uncouth
I write for love
I write for all of the above

But most of all
I write for you
