Why I Write
Here’s to another day where I am seen but invisible
 Where I cloak myself in the shadows like one of the Deathly Hallows
 Alone and miserable
 
 But in the alcove above the house is where my mind can mellow
 Without having to worry about what makes everyone else in my life feel bright and amiable
 Deepest thoughts that concern and take over my soul come pouring out destroying my halo
 
 The perfect outside wall can be torn apart and the world can see that I’m really no angel.
 Just another sinner waiting for forgiveness as I let my sins away, billowed
 Writing opens the dark secrets from my lips into the deep spring of April
 
 All I need is a pen, paper, and a keyboard free lanced writing with no rehearsal
 To open my emotions into a new sense and I begin creating my own chateau
 I fill it with my new hopes and dreams because I know that I don’t have to be careful.
 
 This castle is my safe place, writing is my passage through.
