\" Why Do You Write?\"
L. B. Mek said:

our poetic ink, forged
in that crimson survival, grind
we pen our truths
expecting, chaos to reveal itself
in those blurred lines, between
eloquence and punctuation,
each poem
a ballad to our wailing birthright\'s
fight
to empty facades from our lives!
\'we truth scribblers, few\'
do so gather and vanquish
society\'s demeaning, mirages
and excuses
ever-questing
for sincerity\'s wisdom isles
dogpaddling syllables to traverse
every blank canvas, we so
meaningfully tattoo
with our undisputable, worth!
and so
dear Poet kin, swim free
soar high
and ink proud
your poetry\'s, enlightening song

(really well written, thanks for sharing
stay strong!
please forgive my little poetic reply)
most of life\'s lessons
are born of repetition
we need first, attempt
defying our fears and laments
before we can levitate
excavating a path, to escape
to those
awaiting, shorelines of solace
we\'ve been promised, by hope
one
brave stolen breath at a time
we define
that which is ours to manifest
and realise...!
