Why I Write So Open

Write down thoughts you have today, 
tomorrow these thoughts go away, 
loop back around when situations replay, 
or to reflect on when you’re old and grey.

They might inspire someone else, 
someone younger than yourself, 
you might relieve their mental health, 
you might advise and bring them wealth. 

Spread wellbeing and wellness 
through knowledge not to keep inside, we all progress, 
when we pass on we provide 
mankind a future, a better life.

Many years since you have died,
someone then may read your line,
it might be what they need to find,
to save when lost at that time.

So this is why I write a rhyme
and express what is on my mind.
Because if you know of someone similar, 
then all mankind a family and familiar.
