Why Do You Write? As a writer who understands the multitude of reasons why people have started to become writers I really want to know what makes you want to write. Consider this a way for me to get to know more about you as a writer!

Writing is Destiny

Writer, author, literary junky

    It doesn`t matter if it`s genius or funky

Paint a picture with your pen

    Take a breath and count to ten

Never stop the words that bleed

    Via the ink for all to read

Give your gift of fantasy

    Wisdom, enlightenment, history

If you hold back what`s inside

    Keep it safe and don`t confide

You will soon be constipate

    Full of regrets that seal your fate

Just let flow the ink and blood

    Never try to stop the flood

If writing is your gift and drive

    You`ll need to write just to survive

It`s like oxygen in the air

    Giving life when words we share

We have ink flowing through our veins

    Into our pen onto paper it drains

Allow your mind to be reprieve

    Trap the reader, make them believe

Sweep them up and twist them dry

    Reach inside and make them cry

The written word holds so much power

    Plant an oak or just a flower

You can give a succulent taste

    Or a whole meal leaving no waste

Give it up, what`s in your head

    The audience waiting to be fed

Spill your mind for all to see

    Our writing is our destiny.
