Because I'M Happy

I write because I'm happy I write because I'm free I'm write because I'm black I write because I'm me I write because of dad And his 3 poems that I read I write because a rhyme Sounds so good in my head I write because of racism And how one can't understand I write because of war I write because of Uncle Sam I write because of love Even write harder because of hate I write because I cry When I breathe when I awake I Write Because I'm Happy I write because of Poe And when he spoke of that crow I write because of of Charlie Brown And his Haiku on HBO I write because of you And those Sonnets so sweet I write because I'm inspired By those poems I always read I Write Because I'm Happy
