I write because I'm a liar.
I write because I can't express my feelings.
I write because the Earth rotates.
I write because I'm alive.
I write because people are judgamental.
I write because there's always room for beauty.
I write because it's time to elect the poet.
I write because everyone becomes my audience.
I write because I'm in control of the stage.
I write because there is war.
I write because angels exist.
I write because I make too many mistakes.
I write because I have a family when others don't.
I write because I pretend too much.
I write because I'm imperfect.
I write because I can talk, but can't talk the talk.
I write because story telling is the sun rise.
I write because I've dodged too many bullets.
I write because people call me names, when I was born with one.
I write because I'm always the shoulder to cry on.
I write because my pillow is the only shoulder I have to cry on.
I write because trees change, but they never move.
I write because I can tell the truth.
I write because I mean it.
I write because I am Thiri.
