Writers
Some write for fun
Others write for fame
Some seek to raise questions
Others seek to entertain
Some write flowing prose
Others write quirky rhymes
Some find solace in their writes
Others find only difficult times
Writing is the soul speaking volumes
As our inner self cries out to be heard
Writing is the mind's way of purging
All those trapped feelings and words
So we grab a phrase that comes to mind
And we write on as we must
Never knowing if a gem lay just beyond
Or whether we will throw our hands up in disgust
As evidenced by this write of changing cadence
I feel not constrained by rules and such
Writing to me is an expression of feelings
Although some will conclude I am out of touch
Your writing should convey who you are
Not who you want to be
For if you cast a shadow of deceit
Your writing will appear as just so much debris
