“Why do we write?
Battling within ourselves
Yearning
Heightened by vexation
Intolerance
Stress
Why do we write within?”
“ To understand, absorb
The transcendental sorrow
In us
Within us
To feel and experience and
See sorrows that seen invisible
That lie hidden deep within
To know ourselves
We write so
When we look at life
Through a gaze that is
Different
Natural
Clear
An exquisite feeling
Moves us to experiences the slightest touch
Then,
How can we not write?”
