So I Write

Know, I know
Nothing is what I write

I know better
I don't know anything about what I write

But, this illiterate ungovernable feeling will decay
If I write nothing

Everything I have will die, I will die
Whatever I write, if I stop it

And, yes, so I write

Oh, my dear. Do write. Never stop. I feel the beckoning of your soul crying from the depths saying, "Write me!" cj.

I also feel this way about writing. "Everything I have will die, I will die"
