Flying With Words
I write for the same reason I breathe,
If I didn't I would die,
Without words to express myself,
Life is a broken winged bird that can't fly.
I write my soul down word for word,
I write things I could never say,
Without this method of expression,
I would cry every day.
I try to forget all the regret,
Or else life is mine to miss,
Without saying how I truly feel,
Then I'll always stay like this.
So I write for the same reason I breathe,
It's so that bird can fly to the sky,
I need to rise higher and higher,
And finally stop asking why.
