why does she write
Learn more about other poetry terms
I grew out my wings and flew to a new place,
They said that's what they're for, so I sought out my space.
A space for me to find my own-
To color my feathers,
To say that I've grown.
"Why does she write?" the kids at my school always ask
"Words are unimportant!" they say, "Words do not last!"
I pretend I can't hear them, I quell their horrid words
But deep down, I wish I could soar away like a bird.
