I Write (Poetry) Poem by Affiah Odhiambo

I Write (Poetry)

Rating: 5.0


I write to exhale the exhausting rush in the world,
this mazed haste everyone seems to be in.

I write because it's a nutritious delicacy,
minerals to my mind refreshing me to unwind,
vitamins to my soul nourishing me to be whole.

I write to see the light,
to be the light that shines like the Day-Star
in a glow that blows you away in radiant resonance.

I write to eternally liberate
this ocean of emotions surfing within me
for words unlike tears wash away my fears.
When laughter plays hard,
My pen on my pad spells out the cheers.
When in doubt, dismayed or disturbed,
In my words I birth clarity and all that's mighty.

I write to roar with the lions,
soar with the eagles,
flow with the rivers.

I write to be a valuable voice of our time,
a revered record the future will love to flaunt.

I write to be free, to be ME!
