We Write...

We write for kings
We write for paupers
We write for gold
We write for pennies
We write for nothing at all
We write from our hearts
We write from our deepest thoughts
We write to show love and hate
We write to show hidden truths
We write to show the world as we see it
We write not for fame
We write not for glory
We write because we have no choice
We write because it is who we are
We write because it is who we’ll always be
We write because it is our life
