Reasons I Write

I write because my world revolves around it,
It pulls me to itself,
It’s ionic bonding.

I write because it’s a relief for me,
I overhaul myself,
My struggles and battles are let out.

I write because my muse opens its door to me,
It comes in a subtle flow
It illuminates through.

I write because it opens to me a new world,
It transcends me to a new realm,
I journey in an unseen space.

I write because nature communes with me,
I'm in relation with it,
Seated in its abode.

I write because its fun,
Seeing my thoughts and ideas in print, 
Is a huge delight.

I write because it’s one of my interests,
If I'm not doing the others,
I'm drifting in its world.

I write because it’s a calling,
I'm at my duty post,
Putting away any dereliction of duty.

I write because it’s a career,
My services are given out,
In exchange for money.
