I Write

I write therefor I am

I write so others may understand

In all truth and humanity

This complex thing I call Tony

I write for the emotional pain

This pain haunts me everyday

I write to help free my soul

Before the darkness takes a hold

I write for the joys in my life

These joy were fought for through my strife

I write to give my heart a way to sing

Forever the song shall rise with these heart strings

I write for the truth to be seen

So one can see life is not as bad as they believe

I write for others going through strife

Hoping my words can help them get by

I write for fear of lost goals

I say hold on to those goals and never let go

I write for fear of the unknown

Someday it will be a story told

I write for those who need a voice to speak

To bring down those who sit upon the highest peaks

I write for my own voice to be heard

For others to know what I believe and the lessons I’ve learned

I write for those who wish to be free

For those in lands held in captivity

I write to let my spirit soar

Out of this body and through that open door

I write to bring peace

In hope someday all fighting will cease

I write for my own battle’s end

So that I may see my long lost friend .
