When I Write

When I Write
When I write 
Its like my own retaliation to a world I can’t fight 
But with these put together words 
they give recommendation to my views and insights 
When I write I feel there is no need to all ways come off polite 
There no fear or stress 
For me to come off looking my best
Know one knows of my personal image 
They shall care less 
When I write I give
My talent my skills 
I want my wording to show possibilities of who this person is 
A challenge to a person mine
to wonder if I have lived though a these scares and ordeals 
When I write 
I place no shield 
When I write 
I give it to you how I feel 
When I write 
I give my life some sunlight and give you lime light 
When I write 
I cry tears ,emotions lye here
to say I have been writing for so many years
And still I write 
But when I write 
I give it to you the way it is 
I keep it so real
When I write
