Enjoy

Some may tell of broken hearts
Others, a tale of love
Some describe the beauty of nature
Or even the heavens, up above

Sometimes we paint a picture
With a pen, instead of a brush
We can take them on a journey
That can cause their hearts to rush

We sometimes write of sadness
Using our tears, to make the ink
We've been known to ask the questions
That can cause our readers to think

We write of the happy endings
Or of someones tragic death
We tell of the way we'll say goodbye
As we draw our final breath

It's sometimes based on fiction
And others, it's based on fact
We write with our emotions
To keep our sanity intact

Sometimes we write to feel good
It can tell us who we are
We also write to ease the pain
Or maybe, to heal a scar

We sometimes write in anger
Or whenever we feel annoyed
But for whatever the reason the poet writes
It's meant to be enjoyed
