i write because...

I write and dream up new ways

To say and cry out old things

Utilizing the strings that can be tugged

That attach to inner most hopes

Hopes that feed dreams and needs

All of the things that can hurt

As they have done and I endure alone

I use these words that hold meaning

To tell the world how it is for me

To share with others that may comprehend

I write to post and pretend they reach you

But if they ever do is it just words 

Or is the emotional message conveyed

I write to pretend that someone is listening.

I write to acknowledge the truth of loves cost

And to exercise my restless wants and longings

These are my chosen words

My means at giving feeling to the way one reads them.

My message to someone I know never sees or reads 

The way it is to see or feel

Or love and want what cannot be

 I write because I need to

Need To Write

like need to know, need to eat, need to find love, need to (well you get the picture) is necessary for existing. I write to live and live to write - it's easier than dating - I liked this poem - it said stuff ~allets~
