Why I Write

Aug 28, 2017 · 1 min read

it is not for the ink of a pen

but the wink from my brain

the blessings of a curse

that bliss me on this path

am pursued by words

sweeter than temptation

bigger than a nation

magnificent than the sky

stronger than gravity

but their out-pour

swifter than an eagle

calming like the night

condemning like sin

uplifting like a blessing

bruising like a curse

yet controlling like sleep

i cannot run from this fate

for my days will be fake

and my nights late

i will be hunted like a thief

and disowned like a demon

thus i calm this temptation

by embracing a pen

emptying my mind

and inking every flow of pain and joy

and not complain why to words am just a toyed slave
