Why do you do whatever you love?
Why do I write? A simple question my teacher asked me A piece of cake, how hard could this be In my mind, the question was so easy But when I went to respond, a blank piece of paper stared back at me. This was an easy question, why did I pause, this was a breeze. But my fingers didn’t move, as if I was in a deep freeze. I hadn’t thought it through so much before, I simply did it, it may be feel good, it certainly wasn’t a chore. Was this a good enough answer, or did she want more? When I feel angry, sad, or get something off my chest Marrying mind with paper is simply the best. Let’s forget all that and cut to chase, and tell it like it is. And as once I told a man, six simple words, The reason I write is because I can! Mary E. Lacey 2009
