Why I Write

ancient book
 unsure of the world
unsure of what to say
unsure of what to do
I stayed my tongue 
tied with observation
thoughts built up ideas
thoughts raced furious
thoughts dared spill over
I stayed my mind
eyes of observation
sure of my thoughts in air
sure of my thoughts in words
sure of my thoughts in ink
I freed emotions
posi-nega-tive
I freed all the chains
posi-nega-tive
imagination
held joy I could not find
in misfit worlds
in misfit schools
in misfit jobs
I spilled ink on paper
posi-nega-tive
I found here I lived best
posi-nega-tive
I gained serenity rules 
sure of what to do
sure of what to say
sure in my world
