Now You Know
Why do some of us write poetry, what is it that makes us even care.
Could there be a specific reason behind the rhymes that we might choose to share.
Maybe it’s just for enjoyment, or a contest to let your words glisten.
You could be like the Lawless poet, who writes because no one will listen.
Some poets will write about God, or for a love that has left them behind.
Individually we have our own reasons, a cause for each of us to find.
We might, seek a little fame, things are not always what they seem.
A few get to spill ink for cash, while others are just living the dream.
I usually write from the heart, I’m not afraid to toss out those dice.
Sometimes it’s a break from reality, enjoying my own paradise.
I will continue to write what I want, that has always been plain to see.
If you don’t like my words or my rhymes, then pass me by and just let me be.
