WHY I WRITE
Everybody wonders why
a lady like me is so fly.
My heads up to the sky
I look down on the negative and say bye, bye.
Everybody wants to know
how I just go with the flow
I reach up for the positive....
I live to love, love to live
Everybody has a story,
give out blame and take all glory
everybody has a tale to tell
about losin' pennies in a wishing well
About there struggles,
about their fight
blessing flow by
Divine Right
But what difference will my story make?
What lessons can I teach?
Who will care about my memories,
pay...attention to my speech?
The beauty of writing
is not speaking to be heard
Experiences of loving life
shared. in the giving of words
I don't want to scream.
You know what I mean?
To free up my feelings deep inside
Night will be day
day will be night
Because I write.
(c) 1996 Soul Sister From Cool World Valley
