To Write Is To Live Poem by Shalom Freedman

To Write Is To Live



To write is to live
Life without Poetry is no Life at all-

I will continue
Despite myself
Despite having said what I have to say a thousand times already
Despite and despite and despite-

So a few more little lines from me
Before I am done
Will not cost the Universe that much
If I keep my mood up and my soul alive
Who will it hurt?

I write and write
Thank God for life.
