I write because my mind overflows
Words spill out onto paper in pieces
A puzzle of sorts, binding them
Joining words together gratifies
Meaning derived at puzzles completion
Poetry speaks of darkness, light
The mundane, nature, love
Driven to write
Passion exudes
Ironically, I struggle to find
Words to express
The significance of
Poetry in my life
My confidant
My therapy
Ecstasy
Words follow me
I follow them
The power of the written word
Compels
I write
I have no other choice
