Why I Write Scholarship
Learn more about other poetry terms
Poetry is cruel
Just as all words are
But they say the best are written by fools
Smearing the truth, concealed by blue jewels
It is a chance for the barren to have a strong son
Pen to paper
That is all people see
Because why I write
Is unique to me
Emotions are running
But my mouth fails to speak
So my hand starts moving
To explain what I seek
Have you ever had that moment?
You know, where nothing seems to go your way.
Life throws twist and turns
It's a bumpy road
It can be fun though
You just have to learn how to enjoy the ride
I write to fill
the unspoken silence,
the unencumbered void
in which I live.
Books scream to be heard,
neglected by most.
I listened to their cries
and divulged in their secrets.
Once upon a time,
Not too long ago,
There lived a happy little girl,
Without a care in the world.
She was sweet but shy,
Bleeding Pen
My pen bleeds with passion
passion of ones heart
it bleeds my pain and my happiness
drips tears of sadness
my mind speaks through my hand
I may fade like writing in the sand
Words fly from your mind onto the page.
There is no stopping when you have set your mind ablaze.
Pencils are made for writing,
but what really counts, is whats on that page.
Between two covers
bleed songs of catharsis
a soul, in words, revealed.
Words like photos
of the pen's dance on paper
a poet's written ballet.
Ink sprawled across pages
The written word carries significance
Some use it to instruct and say
“Knowledge is power” (Bacon)
Others, they write down history
Convey myths passed through the ages
Homer, my friend, I’m looking at you
At the age of 18, most kids got their first tattoo.
I went to my first open mic.
And I was so scared to push my tongue and go,
I didn't want to know
I still wrote with training wheels.
The moment my #2 touched that loose leaf Hell froze over
I open the floodgates of emotions
and I released so that I could breathe again
I write because I feel the pain of yesterday
I know the troubles of tomorrow
Pencil marks bleed through the paper and litter the kitchen table;Long lines of illustration and the brisk patterns of written language.Rudimentary chronicles leave their legacy on that old
Why I write
A question only few can answer
I write to be free
I write to express
I write to unleash
Not just words on a paper
But a story to be told
Why I write
Simply because I'm me
It's my mental muse,
Therapy for the body,
Rhythmic healing.
It’s that sweet melody of poetry that keeps me from committing a felony
Felony
It feels like hells on me
That melody
I let take over my body
They lay the books in front of us,
Tell us to open the books to a certain page and then ask us to read.
I love books, i find them a gift even at this young age.
