I Write Because I Can
I write because I can -
There's no rhyme or reason
To my madness.
I put my pen to the paper
When I need
To let go of my sadness.
I write because I can -
This is for no one else
But me.
Writing this poem
Is helping me feel
A little bit more free.
I write because I can -
Whether you like it
Or not.
If I could not write my poems
I would constantly feel
Distraught.
I write because I need to -
It's how I keep
Myself sane.
If I couldn't write
I would go a little bit
i s

a e.
I write because I can.
