I like to write,  
It makes me feel,  
That I can fight,  
Ignorance. 
 
I like to write,  
It's an escape,  
But not a cape,  
To cover up,  
Truth. 
 
I like to write,  
Because my feelings flow,  
And thru them I know,  
Communication. 
 
I like to write,  
To try to make things right,  
For life, for peace,  
For Humanity. 
 
I love to write,  
Because I might,  
Just make it thru the night,  
Without you. 
 
I love to write,  
Because it makes me feel alright,  
While I spend, my life,  
Thinking about you.
